You recieve a call from someone saying that they are from Amazon and that someone has hacked your account. They proceed to give u a number to call so u can fix it. The number u call is so called Amazon Security. They tell u that someone has used your account from Canada and some other states, and they tell u they can put the money back into your account. THESE PEOPLE ARE GOOD AT MAKING YOU THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU BUT IT’S A SCAM
They then tell you to go to a website or play store to download .
THIS APP WILL TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR DEVICE. The reason they do this, they say, is to help put the money back into your account. Keep in mind that once you install and agree to the terms, these people can operate your device. They then proceed to get u to put in your card info. Then they will install Western Union.These people give u tracking numbers and confirmation numbers . If u question them, they act like they are trying to help. You will see everything they are doing. I happened to get a text from Best Buy, saying someone tried to take 2100 out of my account. Then they’ll tell u to go to a store, mine was Best Buy, to get 4 gift cards for $500 each. At that time I hung up.
IF THIS HAPPENS TO U HANG UP AND IMMEDIATELY UN INSTALL TEAMVIEWER.COM , UNINSTALL WESTERN UNION AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY PUT ON YOUR DEVICE.
YOU MUST DO THIS QUICKLY…..THIS IS WHAT SAVED ME FROM LOSING ANY MONEY.
