Total money lost $17,100
Type of a scam Tech Support
Recently me Aunt, who is a senior citizen, was in the hospital and I went to her house to help her out. I noticed a MoneyGram receipt in the amount of $2500 that was sent to Thailand. I checked her bank accounts and noticed large entries being taken out of her accounts recently in the amounts of $2600, $5,000 and $7,000. When I questioned her, I was told that a few years ago, VAP Tech contacted her and told her she was having problems with her computer. She gave them all of her banking information and they were able to move money from a home equity loan into her checking account, then call her and tell her that the had deposited money into her account and that they gave her too much and have her wire money to them. Money was wired to Salina Mahmud through JP Morgan Chase located at 270 Park Ave, NY, NY 10017. They used a "swift code" and Salina’s account number is ***xxxx. I saw $17,100 recently, so there must be more. All of her accounts have been changed, along with her phone number and email address. Reports have been filed with the bank and the police.
