MONDAY, NOV 18TH MY COMPUTER WAS SPINNING NUMBERS AMD i COULD SEE THAT THEY WERE GROWING EVERY DAY. HAD A NOTICE NOT TO TURN IT OFF OR IT MIGHT DO DAMAGE. I WAITED A LITTLE WHILE AND TURNED IT OFF.AND GOT A CALL FROM SOMEWAY CLAIMING TO BE FROM GEEK SQUAD, HAD A LOT OF THINGS FOR ME TO DO. HE TOLD ME ABOUT A MACHINE THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER FROM AMAZON THAT COST 1700. DOLLARS, HAD TO GIVE THEM MY CREDIT CARD # AND WAS AS TOLD THAT AS SOON AS THEY GOT IT FIXED I WOULD HAVE A 1700. BACK. I DID IT AND NEXT DAY, GOT A BUNCH OF CARDS FROM AMAZON THAT I HAD TO SCRATCH OFF NUMBERS, SCAN THEN GOT A CALL THAT ONE CARD WAS NOT RIGHT AND HAD TO THE SAME THING WITH ANOTHER SET OF CARDS. THEY KEPT PUTTING ME OFF AS TO WHEN . THE TECH WOULD BE AT MY HOUSE AND THEY NEVER CAME. THE 1700. DID HIT MY CREDIT CARD AND AND ANOTHER DAY THE SECOND ONE FOR THE SAME AMOUNT. I CALLED MY CREDIT CARD PEOPLE AND THE LAST CHARGE WAS GOING TO MAKE ME GO OVER MY LIMIT SO IT IS PENDING. EVERY TIME I GOT A CALL IT WAS FROM A DIFFERENT # AND A DIFFERENT PERSON. THEY ALL TOLD ME THEY WERE FROM GEED SQUAD AND WOULD GET MY MONEY BACK. KEPT GETTING CALLS AND FINALLY I TOLD THEM THAT I AM SURE THEY WERE A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS AND THAT I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE BETTER BUSINESS TO REPORT THEM
