Metropolitan Police scam

Metropolitan Police fake warning

At this very present moment thousands of computers, primarily in Europe, are being actively attacked and hijacked by the virus bearing the name of Metropolitan Police scam. The very first statement you encounter after your PC has been infected with this ransomware application is as follows: ‘Metropolitan Police. Attention! Illegal activity was revealed!’ Ransomware stands for certain malware program which snatches your PC, hijacks it in a way that you can hardly do anything with it and then scares you with the message of you being supposedly noticed to download, watch and spread certain illegal content. It then says that this supposed illegal behavior on your part is the cause of such blockage. Afterwards the malware offers you to pay certain amount of money to have this problem fixed, promising you not to report any of such sinful actions on your part if only you donate certain amount of money via Ukash service. For this reason some users whose PC were infected with this scam name it as Ukash virus, however, it has nothing to do with Ukash company. It does not spread this virus nor does it support such fraudulent activities of the cyber crooks and criminals who elaborated this indeed scary program.
