Total money lost $149
Type of a scam Tech Support
A few years ago I had problems with my computer. They said they could fix it over the phone for $149. After a few months my computer messed up again. I received a call from the same company asking for my bank info so they could refund my money. They were very persistent but i refused and didn’t hear back from them for a long time. Then I got another call earlier this year with the same scam and they said that ther were the ”Geek Squad" Their number was 1-630-567-8930. Now, today I received another call threatening to debit funds from my account. This is the same company using a different number.
