Got a call from someone who said he was a Microsoft partner and that he had evidence of someone trying to invade my computer. He said his group was on the ScamPulse.com website w/ A+ rating. He showed me the ScamPulse.com site. He then said for $169.00 I could get protection for a year. He installed Supremo to connect to my PC, also installed CCleaner and Windows Defender. Problem is I keep getting calls from these people and now they say they want to refund my money as "they can no longer provide the services they promised." They insisted I turn on my PC so they refund me the same way they took my money. I have not done this and decided to report this as I feel like a fool for falling for this.
