Type of a scam Tech Support
ON JUNE 6, 2020 I RECEIVED A VIRUS NOTICE ON MY COMPUTER. I DECIDED I NEEDED TO ADD VIRUS SOFTWARE. I WENT ON LINE TO RESEARCH AND THERE WAS (WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A NEWS ARTICLE) AN AD THAT SAID TOP 10 BEST VIRUS SOFTWARE COMPANIES. COMPANIES WERE LISTED WITH THEIR LOGO BESIDE THEM. I CLICKED ON NORTON THINKING THAT WAS THE OFFICIAL NORTON WEBSITE. IT WAS NOT.
THE PEOPLE CONVINCED ME I NEEDED A FIREWALL AND THAT THEY WOULD DIAL-IN AND REMOVE THE VIRUS AND ADD A FIREWALL. THEY ACCESSED MY COMPUTER VIA "GO TO ASSIST" AND CHARGED ME $1,280.00 ON MY CREDIT CARD (IN TWO CHARGES OF 750.00 AND 530.00 SAYING IT WAS A LIFETIME FIREWALL. THEY ALSO INSTALLED WHAT THEY CALLED A PASSWORD VAULT TO TRY AND GAIN ACCESS TO MY PASSWORDS.
