I chose a website HP Support that I assumed was a Hewlett Packard website. I allowed the technician to access my laptop remotely. I gave my name, address, phone number, and email address. When I finally got suspicious I brought my laptop to Geek Squad. Geek Care had disabled my antivirus and installed malware and spyware on my laptop. It cost $400 for them to clean it up and recover what Geek Care had done to it. Beware!

My computer was blocked and could not get access or shut down. thought they were microsoft and called number to stop all the noise and ringing from computer. Said they would clear up all problems on computer for $299. Also wanted me to get three years of extra security with total cost of $649.00. After the computer cleared up, i tracked down ScamPulse.com site to find that it was all a scam. I did not send any money via a check and have no plans in the future. It's a pretty pathetic world out there.

I was on fb when I opened a news article & Trojan Virus screen popped up & the screen was locked. I received a call from Morris Dawson at @1-888-711-2890, ID#MD8756 CS#6754346.

said he was from Microsoft & my computer had been infested. He asked a lot of questions just like in your video. He asked for my bank's Customer Service number. He said

he was calling them and was not allowed to speak on a 3-way call, so tell them what was happening. Because about 3:45 a.m. I had authorized several charges by

text for several thousand dollars, for Child Photography for $2000, coins for $9000 & another site for several thousand & I needed to check my account

for these pending charges that couldn't be stopped because I had okayed the purchases. I disconnected his call & he immediately called back from the above number.

I didn't answer & continued with my Credit Union. I gave her the ID info he had given me. She called the number & said it wasn't a Microsoft number. He also said I should

tell the credit union to put my account on a 48-hour High Security. I turned off my computer, restarted & called Best Buy Tech Support for them to check my computer! I immediately blocked the numer he called from. He had called & got my voice mail again this morning.

Asked to give an actual credit card or bank acct info for payroll purposes and for Oliver to deposit the $3500 for purchasing of computer and accessories for job. I gave Oliver my SSN and bank acct routing# and checking acct

#. All communication was by text message.

I closed the bank acct already, but my SSN is exposed, unfortunately.

I was on Facebook and clicked on a link that took me to US News, and then an annoying window popped up from Microsoft stating that my computer had been hacked. I had no control over my cursor so I called the number on the screen, the male told me that he needed to run some diagnostics he told me to grab a pen and paper and he started giving the letters "NETSTAT TCP..." then told me I have 11 hackers trying to get into my computer. This goes on for about five more minutes. Then he gives me his name "Michael Costa", Employer # ATS7215, and a Case ID# and secure line phone number (530)826-4685. Then he asked for the name of my financial institution, and that's when I hung up.

My wife was watching Netflix, and a popup appeared on her tv saying that her account has been hacked. She called the phone number as directed by the scam and was connected to someone who said she needed to contact her bank. She must have given them enough info to initiate a Zelle payment of approximately $499.
