Type of a scam Tech Support
On 3/29/2016 at approximately 1:15pm CST, while logging onto a personal banking site I received an on screen warning that my hard drive was about to crash because of a virus and I needed to take immediate action to protect it. I was directed to a "GoToAssist.com" site that was pro-ported to be a legitimate Microsoft site. The person(s) communicating with me presented themselves as Microsoft techs. I was told I needed to purchase a $300 anti-virus package and when asked for personal bank information (routing & account #’s) I hung up on them. On the download drop-down screen I saw "citrixonline.com".
