I don’t even know if this is a thing, but it seems like some of the people who try to connect with me on LinkedIn are scams or spammers. Can I report these jerks?

Online scammers are getting smarter about how they try to extract vital information from us about online bank accounts, etc, and the latest targeting customers of Wells Fargo Bank is a doozy. Here’s what to look out for and how to stay safe online!
Criminals are constantly trying to separate us from our account and personal financial information. That’s not news. Usually what they do is pretty lame, but sometimes it can be surprisingly well crafted. Like a notice I got over the weekend from “Wells Fargo Bank”…
I received a phone call from a company called Omni Support who said I had viruses and was hacked. I already have AVG on my system and it was running slow. They showed me foreign company access to my computer. They also showed me files that appeared not safe. I allowed them to clean things up but as they were I saw a lot of file transferring and I am not sure that is normal. When they were done they said I needed to restart my system and wait 15 minutes before I signed back in. I have not done so and am scared to try to restart as I am in fear they have loaded something on my system. Can you assists me?
My Dad’s older and while he’s good on the computer, he’s not always very attentive. So I worry about him being scammed by phishing attacks and giving up his Gmail or Google password, which would be a complete disaster. What can I do to help minimize the risk?
I just got an email from PayPal saying that there’s a payment reversal on my account and that I need to log in to explain what happened. But I haven’t bought or sold anything through PayPal in months. Is this legit or some phishing or other scam?
So confused. I went to a Web site and suddenly an Adobe Flash Player update popped up, telling me it was required to view content on their site. But I looked at the page and there’s no Flash content. Is the update page legit or a bogus scam?
I’m an avid Instagram user and love seeing what everyone else is posting, but sometimes I’ll post something and someone I don’t know will leave a stupid or spammy comment on my image. Sucks. Is there a way to delete bad comments?
