Scam - text messages say "AMAZON - my credit card number (no number provided" has been debited $1099.00 - to cance the order, call this number - 1-818-824-6053. FYI - I have not ordered anything from Amazon in past 90 days and my actual credit card does not have pending charges. When I called the number, they tried to social engineer me into providing all of my personal data and asked for my full credit card number "to help me" - FRAUD!!! BLOCK THIS NUMBER
Claimed to be HP technical support. Setting up my printer service, accessed my computer with out my permission. Started digging in files, I shut my computer off before they started to access my files. The support number that I called went to this number.
Frozen my computer - Said they were Microsoft - so I paid $200.00 for a program to unfreeze it and help with my computer. Well shortly after that I was hacked --- now if they help he they want another $300.00 I don't have that kind of money so I need help........what do they do for the $200.00??????
