Total money lost $299.99

Type of a scam Tech Support

1.Four years ago a Malware intrusion locked me out of my computer. I received an email that they had been monitoring my computer with a license from Microsoft as a subcontractor.

2.I was then contacted by phone as to how I could remove the malware and make my computer safe from Malware intrusions for a lifetime contract of $299.99. They suggested that the safest way to pay for that contract was via gift cards in the amount of $299.99. I purchased the gift cards and read them the numbers of the gift cards over the phone. Soon afterwards the Malware was removed. Soon after this incident I was harassed by phone calls to extended my one year subscription to a life time subscription for $499.99. With this harassment I suspected that this entire chain of events was a scam. I reported the incidents to the FBI, including the numbers on the gift cards. About two years later, I received a call from the ‘Tech support’ subcontractor for Microsoft, that an error had been made in charging me for services that I had already pad for in a previous contract and they wished to refund my money for the Malware removal if I would send them my routing number and checking account number. (Note: all of the voices on the phone calls had an English-Indian accent.)
