They called my mother late at night. she was sleeping and when she answered the phone, being an elderly woman, and not very computer literate, she followed their instructions. Unfortunately, she ended up holding a check the the monitor and paid them $229 and some cents. Fortunately, my sister and her went to the bank and canceled the check. They will not stop calling her. I called the number and told them to stop calling my mother. They asked what her name was and I just gave them her first name. They repeated it with my mother's last name. They said they refunded her the money. I told them they left my mother's computer useless. I am just hoping I can reset it back to factory setting and all will be well. They used very foul language when I told them to stop calling as they called 6 times last night. I talked with my mother again today and they are stilling calling her, but she now knows not to answer that number. They need to get a REAL job and stop scamming people. Especially the elderly who do not have the money to be paying out to scammers.
The people are scammers, under investigation for wire fraud
