Victim Location53140 Total money lost$400 Type of a scamAdvance Fee Loan
My computer crashed and continued to say, and message me, that the system was infected and gave me a number to call to get my computer working. The parson at pcmaple informed me that seven attempts had been made to access and steal my banking records. They said they would permanently solve the issue and guaranteed the fix would stop the "worm" (malware) from attacking my system again. I was informed that it would cost $388.00 dollars.
I asked if I needed to charge it. I was told the way "MICROSOFT SYSTEMS" wants the transaction completed was to "post-date" a check and a FEDEX pick-up would be made to my home. I stupidly did all these things after my computer system was corrected. I did get a service.
PCMAPLE posted the check immediately upon receipt and cost me $36.00 in fees when my account was over-drafted.
