Having had a pop-up on my PC saying that I had a trojan, I went to the MSN website, checked that the phone number there was valid with my PC maker (Dell), called the MSN #, explained my problem and was transferred to what I presumed was their tech dept. It was in fact Elitex IP. I was well into doing what I thought was removing the trojan when i was told it would cost $300. Since everything costs megabucks these days, I agreed and was persuaded to send them another $300 to have my PC checked and upgraded once a month for a year. I sent them a cheque through Revenue Dealer LLC which too 6 weeks to clear. Having been OK with the initial work I contacted them again a month later as contracted with them, and things went sideways. While they had control of my PC, a money transfer through PayPal for $300 was sent to a person I have never heard of. I have spent the last month dealing with that disaster, changing passwords, etc. It took me that month dealing with PayPal, being given untracible case numbers and finally being told that they don't cover money transfers. I should have seen the red flags at the beginning of this, but thought I had done everything I could to make sureI was safe.

Address:2049 Rierson Rd, Attn: Joan Stallings, Tobaccoville, NC 27050, USA
Country:United States
Type of a scam:Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Caller said they had won $1.7MM and he needed $1500. They said they only had $600 and the caller said that would be fine. They played along with it and he gave them the above address to send the $600 cash. Caller said they would take the difference out of their winnings. Attn: Joan Stallings. They returned the call and the phone # given was answered by the original caller. Caller wanted them to stay on the phone while they drove to the bank (so they pretended to do it!). Caller wanted them to put the cash in an envelope and send it "overnight". Caller asked for the tracking number (which they didn't have), so caller asked them to go back into the post office & get the tracking #. Wife acted as postal worker & said she couldn't give the envelope back, so caller accepted it. Then he told them that he couldn't send the $$ until he received the $600 and not to tell his wife. Then caller asked what he had for breakfast and they told him "pork"!
