Type of a scam: Tech Support

They sent an invoice for $460 saying that my subscription to geek squad personnel service would auto renew unless I called them within 48 hrs. I did call them and the phone was answered by a foreigner and never said anything about geek squad.

I called the number on my email became I really thought I had a subscription and just didn’t remember. I called to cancelled because because I didn’t want any funds to come out my account. The scammer said when we’ll get your computer and I’ll walk you through how to cancel the subscription, the website provide was www.811sup.org and then he was able to provide me the link to fill out the ReFund Form…I provided my name, address, phone number, bank name, amount to be refunded, selected checking, and I hit submit. Once hitting the submit button, I received a transaction # GEEKS5698XH, with instructions to log-in to your bank account and accept the transfer. Once I hit submit, he was very persistent that I open a new tab and log on to my bank account. I informed him that I was doing it on my phone and he stated again that the only way I would receive the link is if I do it on my laptop. I never open my account on my laptop…thank GOD!! Well by then I was bothered and realized I had almost been scammed. I blocked the caller on my phone and through email.

I purchased a new laptop the beginning of the year. With my purchase I received a package that provides cleaning from any viruses or hacks. On 9/14/22 I received an email from the Geek Squad who handles these types of things telling my trial period was ended and I had to pay 294.00 if I wanted to continue the service. When I called the number in the email the woman who answered whom I couldn't understand sounded Chinese. I asked her to put some on the phone that could speak English. While I was talking with her she had another man call me. He appeared to be Indian but I could understand him. He told me I needed to a fill out if I was to discontinue my service. He told me we could do it online. I let him have access to my computer to open this format. He then asked for a credit card number I told him you should have all my information. Then he told me you didn't pay with your credit card. He stated that you initially put was on your debit card. He asked me do you do online banking. I yes do, but he never asked me to go into my bank account or for my bank account number or routing numbers. He just wanted me to put in the debit card number, so he could deposit the money into my account. Instead twenty-four hours later he did a wire transfer taking money out using my name. I just want people everywhere to be careful. Since then I seen emails from Norton about computer security. It's ashame, but now I don't trust anybody.

The email seems really legit. When opened it looks like a real invoice from Geek Squad, stating that a subscription has automatically been renewed for $399.99. Then when you look at the address that it is sent from, it is a personal Gmail (in my case) email address. This has been confirmed as a scam by the real Geek Squad, that will come up on caller ID as Best Buy or Geek Care. If you allow them to in-link to your computer they will install the CSRSS Trojan Virus, which will disable all of the computer's Microsoft drivers and allow the hackers/scammers to track everything you do, and sites you go to. I had to get the real Geek Squad's help in stopping this.

I knew that our company hadn't requested Geek Squad for service for quite awhile. After listening to radio station 720 this week, I was cautious & hesitant to call, but felt that I should find out how they got our bank account number as the email stated that they would be automatically withdrawing $389.99 that day. Our account number wasn't included in email. Speaking to who I thought was a rep of Geek Squad, he had difficulty speaking English & he wasn't able to answer my questions without hemming & hawing, & he finally told me I would need to contact Best Buy to get my questions answered, said he'd transfer me, but instead he hung up. I tried to copy the email & it wouldn't allow me to.

I received an email saying that I had purchased a recurring item for my computer. I have never purchased my own computer. The foreign individual then told me to log into my computer so he could help me cancel the $485 hold. He would not give me any information except that he was going to help me cancel and give me a password. You could hear another guy in the background talking to someone else saying the same thing. I checked my bank account and have no holds. He kept saying he could 'clear' my server for me. I hung up on him
