Type of a scam Online Purchase
They called me saying that they were a part of the business i had bought online mal-ware protection services from and told me that their company was moving and would like to give me a refund after they remove any of there potentially harmful expired software from my computer. We then proceeded to connect computers then we proceeded to have them go into my paypal and he darkened the screen telling me he was going to ooen uo his company’s bank account and transfer me the money little did he know i could still see what he was doing and it looked like he did something to make it display that i had received 4500 dollars and when that happened he showed me that companies can onlh transfer a minimum of 4500 dollars and i would jeed to pay them back 4000 dollars in cards and as i asked if it was a scam it bacame and argument he threatened to lock my computer and withdraw all of my money from my bank account unless i return all of the companies money. I payed 4000 dollars through prepayed walmart cards and they unlocked my computer. The next day after they unlocked my computer and i went on and they told me that they couldnt process the money and now owed them a total of 8000 dollars which was obsurd so at that point i already knew i messed up and gave them 4000 dollars.
