I called what I thought was Microsoft and they remoted into my computer and took off viruses, told me I needed to get a firewall connection. I bought it. Today they called saying they were giving me a refund. Then got mad when I questioned him.

Received an email claiming to be Geek Squad. They wanted to bill me $377.00 for a maintenance contract. Since I had used them once I thought this was legit. I called them & they tricked me into letting them into my computer. They wanted me to open my bank account so they could verify the refund. I then realized this was a fraud & tried to stop the programs being used to see inside the computer. My screen went blank & they wiped out most of my programs & data. I spent over $200 to have my hard drive wiped & recovered a little data but even windows was removed. Lost all the programs too. It will take a while to tr-download them. My emails were lost too so I can’t send a copy.

I contacted this company when I was trying to recover my stolen Facebook account about 2 months ago. They were referenced to.me by a so called friend on asocial media site, o I contavted them and they were eager tohelp.merevover my account, I explained to them.that I couldn't pay them anything cause I was on a limited income andthey said they would do it at no cost. I had to first verify my identity through idme.comand when wr couldn't verify it through them we verified me through the irs.gov site. I got my Facebook account back.but they wanted to help me financially so they sent me acheck through the mail and I was to deposit it into.my bank account thrn send $1500 to their cousin, so they said , then send them back $1000 and then keep $500 myself. I didn't know this was a scam until after I deposited the check into.my account, I was then to send them a screenshot of the deposit slip from the atm, I wasn't to use the tellet or drive trough just the ATM and so I did as they said well since it was such a large amount the bank.held it for 10 days and I learned the check was written on a closed account so the bank.froze my acvount for 60 days, then add insult to injury I received a letter in the mail from the IRS asking if I had filed a tax return for 2023 because one had been filled in my.name, so I informed the irs that I had not filed a tax return fir 2023, i hadn't filed one in over 20 years to stop any payment of returns inmy name. I contacted cybersupport and asked tjem if they had filed one and they never directly answered me but tthe whole time I was in constant daily contact with them they where telling me that I would be receiving something in the mail from the IRS and for me to let them.know when I received it so that told me my answer right there. Also when I was in daily contact wirh them they aske me about all my fiscal products that I have and stupid me told them every thing that I have. I trusted them completely and they filed a tax return iny name and got access to my social security benefits information from the irs so I have to check every month to make sure that they don't change my direct deposit of my social security check from.my.main checking account, I didn't give them that Information thank god.

I received an email from my email address to my email address from an entity who claimed to have infected my devices with a RAT Trojan virus, had control of my computer and will send pornography to my contacts unless I sent $1400 in bitcoin to his/her bitcoin address within 48 hours.

I reported this incident to my email provider, the FBI, apple.com and now to the ScamPulse.com

They interupted my prime on my t.v. put up a number to call for tech support, then he said he had to get into my phone and use a card but my money will be reimbursed, he ordered 2 games, and the game people wouldn't cancell the orders, I lost all 180 that I had for my bills. This happened befor October of 2022, so if you have problem getting into movie app, don't call number on screen, ask your phone to call prime customer service.

I was trying to activate Hulu on a new tv in my bedroom and a screen came up that required me to enter an activation code and when it did not work, it showed a phone number to call on the screen. I called that number and spoke with an Indian person who walked me through some very strange instructions to get Hulu activated. He used Venmo and Zelle, as well as asked me to download an app on my phone called any desk. Hulu finally got activated, which is why I really thought I was talking to a Hulu rep. I kept thinking this is wrong. This is stupid. But he assured me this was the only way to activate the tv. As soon as he hung up, I called my bank and froze the accounts, deleted any desk on my phone and powered the phone down.

I received a phone call yesterday from Harry Brown in AZ who said he was Dish. He said I would have to pay $249 or he would shut it off. He wanted me to send a check or money order. I said no. Then he said I could mail a post dated check. I called Dish and they said it wasn't them. His number is 470-348-4393, ext 201. He told me I could call him for any Dish network. He said I was getting a 25 % discount. He said he was with Global Update Service. He said the money was a deposit. And the deposit would be refunded on 9.25.23. His address is 102 N 116th Ln Avondale AZ 85323.
