On January 8, 2016 I was on my computer and this flashing sign appeared in large letters stating that I needed to call this phone number immediately - that there was a problem with my computer. I kept trying to close it out but nothing happened. I finally called the number and they stated someone was hacking into my computer and that they could provide me with protection for a small fee of $249.99 and this was technical support for a lifetime.
We not knowing what to do or time to research it, I did it. They called me back a few days later and everything seemed to be ok. No further problems. Today 5/12/17 I get a Restricted call on my phone (foreign speaking person) stating the company is going out of business and they had to issue me a refund.
The only way to do this was to give them my bankcard # and information or checking account information. I stated that all they had to do was cut me a check. They said no they could not, only checks of $1000.00 could be issued from their company.
They were so insistent that I give them this information and were really getting mad at me but I would not give it up. I asked for the manager but he was of no help. Finally I hung up without giving them information. During the conversation they gave me a # to put in my computer so they could remote into my computer.
I feel very afraid that they can get into my personal information and now that I pissed them off, it is very scary. I do not want this to happen to someone else.
My husband doing some stock trading on desktop when screen went blank and a message appeared which looked like from microsoft that said computer being hacked into and to call this number 1-888-995-3910 immediately was really caught off guard and did so. Foreign men proceeded to sell him $399 worth of protection immediately. Which he charged and they dialed in our computer to work. I came home and he explained what was going on I asked if he researched this company which he didnt and I immediately went on the iPad to discover this was a scam. I then called 1-800-485-6316 which was the number for us to call if any future problems I said for them to stop what they were doing get out of our computer and do not charge us. After lengthy arguments and transfers to supervisors,and my not listening to what they were trying to explain in their foreign tongues they got out and said billing would call me to discuss charge. I then called capital one and cancelled credit card they tried to call the number that was showing as pending and it was a personal cell which no one answered.i then received a phone call that came up on id as Zavions 972-439-1058 he wanted to speak with my husband I said no speak with me which was another argument and told him he can speak with our attorney and do not charge us anything.
