Total money lost $100
Type of a scam Tech Support
I received a call from a person identifying themselves as a representative from Yahoo.com and that my email had been hacked. I was led to believe that my information was being seen by others and they would be able to see by banking information and other sensitive data unless they would intervene and secure my computer. To do this, it would cost me $300. I said I was unable to pay $300 and they gave me the option to pay in 3 payments of $100 each. After giving them access to my computer and allowing them to supposedly fix my computer I made the first initial payment of $100. Afterwards, I contacted a computer expert that lives within our community and he ran some anti virus software and by doing a special procedure found seven Trojan files hidden in my computer which he deleted and then told me not to pay those people another penny. Well I gave them my credit card information and phone number. I changed my phone number and blocked my credit card from them using it again. Obviously they are tenaciously trying to collect more money so they keep trying, now on my cell phone. Is there any way to stop them from harassing us?
