Type of a scam Tech Support
Got calls from Washington DC (202-868-8880) for several weeks stating their company was going out of business and wanted to refund my money for computer tech support. when I tried to return the call to number left on voice mail it could not be completed. Finally talked to them yesterday. They wanted to refund $399.99 and said they were working with Chase Bank. A black box appeared on my screen where my name, address and the amount of refund entered. they remotely quickly changed the amount to $3999.99. Because I had my bank account pulled up the amount showed entered in my account. I told them to contact Chase and back funds out. They couldnt do that. All the while they wanted me to pay them with my credit card which I refused. They wanted me to set up account on Xoom, which didnt work, then on Western Union which required credit card to transfer money which I refused. Next choice go to Target and get gift cards 4 at $500 each with the stipulation that I tell Target that cards were for personal use to family member. My computer was locked at this time. I did not go and later it seemed that my PC was unlocked. I contacted my bank this morning. They show no activity on my account involving $3999.99, neither deposit or withdrawal. Names they used during these conversations: Daniel, Peter, Richard Barker-Senior Manager. Recipient Info I quickly jotted down while they were trying to set up Xoom and Western Union: Ramkrishna Pally, Khejurtala Barasat, West Bengal [email protected] Bank of Bagoda, W Bengal Kolkata. acct 27400100015406
