Friday, Aug.12, Microsoft interrupted the computer with a red sign and woman's voice who said I had been scammed/hacked and not to turn off the computer. I had to call a number (don't have that number now.) I called the number. They had my social sec. number, address , birthday and other personal info. They told me I had been scammed and asked to do screen share -- which I did. They showed me the hacks on my screen. I was scared. Then they transferred me to the FTC and David Robbins (Exec. Dir. of FTC) in Washington D.C (213-776-5531) which is the area code for Los Angeles.- I found out later. He wanted me to sell all of my securities (liquify) and transfer them to my checking account and then transfer them to a government locker. He said that the government would rein-burse me for any expenses. (Poor guy --- the real David Robbins)

Since the markets were closed by then, I had to wait until Monday. He made me promise that I would keep the telephone line open and tell absolutely no one about the call. He said not to tell Wells Fargo the truth about the sales -- that WF would try to talk me out of it. He said he would call me at 10:00 the am today (Sat.) -- which he did.

By this morning, I had frozen all accounts and credit card at Wells Fargo. Today, I went along with the scam so he thinks I am still on board. He's calling again at 10:00 Monday AM.

He is extremely well informed. Has an answer for everything. He has no accent except he can't say victim--- he says witcim.

I got a text message from my friend (it wasn't my friend, but someone who had hacked into my friend's facebook account). She said that she got money from the government. Long story short, I got scammed for $12,000 trying to get the $90,000 the scammers told me I was eligible for.
