I was browsing those little boxes at bottom of screen on news sites with headlines that entice you to click on them about celebrities or medical discoveries etc. and suddenly an alarm went off on my computer and it said to call this number and don't close out your computer or you would crash the computer.

Called and they offered to "fix" it for me. I said was using laptop given to me to use by our school so I would get that guy to fix it. They said oh no we can fix it now and if I touched computer at all it would crash. He said he found a "koobface" virus which was a variation of facebook. He had me read the definition to him aloud after he googled it for me which I thought odd but it seemed legitimate at the time. Then he said he could remove the virus but I would have to pay for the service. The lowest cost service was for six months I think but he insisted I buy the year of computer protection for $99.99.

Gave him a credit card number; at least I knew enough not to give him my debit card number attached to my bank account. He said it would take about two hours. About halfway through I started to think what have I done, he's in my computer! So I disregarded the strong warnings about leaving the screen that was up and googled Tech Trick Solutions and it was a scam! I immediately took computer offline and shut it down and called my credit card company and got a new account and card.

I told them I would not pay that charge and that it was a scam. That was March 16th and just yesterday received a letter from the credit card company (after several phone calls that assured me it was taken care of, but it wasn't) (last week I got a letter saying it was going to go to collections - plus fees which had grown by now to about $150) that they had removed all charges after investigating it.

I hadn't even activated the new account credit card yet, the scam charges got moved to the new card. So anyway it is finally resolved. I changed my bank account passwords and removed the files from my computer they had put on my laptop to recycling bin; kept there in case they would be evidence in some illegal use of my personal or financial information they could have found while they "fixed" my computer.

I found the name Tech "Trick" Solutions ironic as they indeed tricked me. I felt so stupid to fall for it. He even called and left two voice mails of why I had not let him finish his work. Was a man with an Indian accent. I have name and phone number somewhere if anyone would like to know them, if I can find the slip of paper. Just found out my aunt (same town) had a similar thing happen this spring also. Want people to be informed about it.
