Charlie Kelly Emailed me a Statement

Received an email from Charlie, stating that I had been charged nearly 400 for a Geek Squad PC Care subscription.

Also, yesterday someone tried twice to access my BB account.

I reached out to BB and they confirmed it was wrong (invoices don't even start with GN) and to report it to [email protected] (which I did).

I was contacted by this fraud scammer (Ryan (??) 704-445-0766 from the "Geek Squad" to secure a computer maintenance policy for 3-years. He said that my bank account was going to be charged for this service. When I answered the email, the scam began as he was able to get into my computer while I was on it. He brought up a wire transfer form and had me fill out some of it so that the money for the maintenance policy would not be deducted from my bank account and that he would return my money which, I realized afterwards, that he could not do anyway. He ended up filling out the amount ($25,400.00) on the transfer (Ref. # 20221720096200). It went to: ABA BANK 148 PREAH SINHAOUK PHNOM PENH PEHNOM PEHN 120303. Receiver name: RA CHHEUN Account Number: 003894353 Swift Code: ABAAKHPP. Receiver Address: 167 PRASH SISOWATH BLVD State: PHSA KANDAL City: KHAN DAUN Zip: 120304. This is the first time that I have ever been scammed and did not realize what was going on until it was too late. My bank executed a stop on transaction, but it was too late. My savings account was gone.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

I received an email From Geek Squad saying they charged direct debit for 399.99 for renewal of services. I never requested anything from them. When I called the number they said that the only way I can receive the cancelation email was to log on to my computer. I told them that I wasn’t going to do that and said I thought it was a scam.

Received an email from Geek Squad saying that my annual membership has been renewed and that $400.00 was being billed to my credit card. I called the toll free number and when I advised that I never had Geek Squad and that I do not own a laptop and was hung up on. I called back again and was advised that the call was being recorded by the ScamPulse.com and I would be refunded.

Type of a scam Other

The email said I could cancel so I called that is when they said they could take it off. Then they went on my computer and did stuff and refunded my money but when I tried to put amount in they said they would do $200 back so I tried typing in 200 but it keep going back and then finally it or they did 2000 and then transferred it to my banking so now they said I owed them 1800 so I had to go get a gift card to pay them back. So I ran to target which was a 45 min drive and the stayed on line the whole time. Even after i got the gift card they said go home right away but on way home I got thinking when I got back I stopped at my bank to see if that 2000 was in my checking and it wasn’t so then I knew I was scammed. Just wondering if you could see about getting my money back? The person called me from this number 1-904-530-1341 it says Yulee,FL

Not certain they are based out of Vermont but the phone number given is registered there.

I hope this helps get these dirt bags caught!! Was an older male with Indian accent (Not Native American)

He asked for invoice information and then for my details to confirm invoice was correct, this was my red flag that they were not legit since they kept asking to confirm personal details. Unfortunately I had already given them my full name.. Please catch them!!

I received an email thanking me for my auto renewal in the amount of $325. Nowhere in the email did it state what company or product was being renewed. I called the customer service number shown on the email, the phone answered by a man with a southwest Asian accent and multiple conversations could be heard in the background, all were men with southwest Asian accents. I asked what was being renewed and he stated the virus protection program I put on my computer. I have a brand new Apple desktop that has not been altered since it left the factor. I asked him what was the brand name of the software, he said he didn't know but he would walk me through removing it if I didn't want to renew it. I informed that I know how to remove programs from my computer if he would just give me the name of the program. He refused to give me the name of the program and told me to never call this number AGAIN!

[email protected] Richard emailed me that I placed an order and he would charge my bank a renewal of $339.99 for GSK Network for 1 year. I have never authorized this nor ever emailed him before. When I can 888-870-2128 to check into this they hang up on me.

I emailed him back saying NOT AUTHORIZED and he replied that I had to call the number to cancel. I won't call from my cell.
