Total money lost $10,000

Type of a scam Tech Support

Received a call from "Global Tech Services" and allowed remote access to my computer so they could check it for viruses. I was charged $300 for a 5 year service plan. After multiple scans, I was informed that my computer was too old and was not compatible with the their upgrade software and would be returning my $300. I checked my bank statement and saw a $3,000 deposit in my checking account. Thinking this was a ten fold error, I told them of this mistake and insisted that I return $2,600. ($3,000 minus $300 for the return of my payment and $100 for my honesty. I was instructed to send this money to a person in China through Money Gram. Errors were made by the clerk and was refunded the $2,600. I was then instructed to deposit $2,500 in an account at Wells Fargo Bank. A problem occurred with this account and was told I needed to deposit $2,400 in another account at Wells Fargo Bank to clear up that account. I was promised the return of my money when that was done. After another check of my bank account, I discovered that the $3,000 was actually transferred from my savings account. (NOT BY ME). Needless to say, after many urgent transactions required to clear their problems with their bank accounts, I am now close to $10,000 poorer. I am ashamed of my self for falling for their unethical business practices. Another company called "US Tech Support" got involved stating that they wanted help me get my money back and being a very large company with a policy that only allowed a minimum pay back amount of $13,000. They required that I send them another $3,000 so they could release the $10,000 back to me. It was admitted to me by one of these people that both "Global Tech Services" and "US Tech Support" company’s were scammers and would not be getting my money back. Looks like I’ve lost $10,000 to them. I am sure that these two company’s and the names given to me are fictitious. They all spoke with a mid eastern accent with american names and called from the same telephone area code and exchange which were blocked with a Magic Jack. (Even the caller claiming to be a Wells Fargo Bank representative) ADVICE: NEVER allow remote control of your computer to ANYONE and DO NOT send money to someone you don’t know and never out of the country.
