Total money lost $2,800
Type of a scam Tech Support
I had a virus on my computer and l was directed to call Microsoft. They said it would cost $100 to clear my computer. Had to get a gift card to do that. They kept telling me that someone in Dayton Ohio was trying to hack into my bank account and my other accounts l have. This cost me more money. Then they said that there was a problem with my internet box at my house and they needed more money. This morning they are asking for $2000. I already have sent them $2800. I feel that this is not right. What can you do for me?

Someone calls frequently to offer us a refund from Microsoft. They say we have to get on line to get the refund, which we refuse to do. They always have a strong foreign accent/broken English. Constant harassment. I called back from a different location and they still try to perpetrate the scam. I want this nonsense to stop! We have not lost any money yet, because we do not log in and fall for their scam.

The caller informed me that if I didn’t call the number, my subscription for anti virus protection would be auto renewed for $299. I called to verify this was false and asked the person I was speaking with to put me on their do not call list and they used very inappropriate and personal language to insult me.
