Victim Location 90810

Type of a scam Tech Support

While doing an online search for a school, a message popped up with audio warning about a pornographic virus. It said if I didn’t call the number to take action immediately, I would be reported (to ??) and my passwords & credit card info would be compromised. After several attempts to close it, it just stayed on the screen and kept talking, I shut the computer off. I did call the number by the way, and the “ gentleman” that answered was very angry when I asked if he was a Microsoft employee. He actually raised his voice as he lied to me saying yes.

I needed to get help from the Microsoft tech support I had to call two or three times before I could take to someone that I could understand because of their heavy accent and they were upset with that. once I got someone I could understand he said I needed to buy anti virus software like Mcafee which I read I had a trial copy so when the insisted I get I hung up and call again for help . I did get someone that convinced me to turn over my computer to him and he would get me set upend help me add a printer to my laptop. He started telling me how I had a big problem I had a multiplier virus that was eating up my data he actually showed me how it was doing it. He said don’t worry he could fix it for $199.00 he said I know you can’t afford that and he hung up. Boxed the laptop and returned it to Target.
