My uncle was called by a scammer.
Told him his PC was infected and wanted to take control of his computer.
Uncle allowed him and was then told I fee of $10 was required to clean the virus out.
He paid and then was told its worse than thought and they now need $320.
He agreed to pay after confirming he would be paid back once the virus was gone.
Of course this was all a scam, they took his money and left his PC buggered.
His bank sorted him out and replaced the money he was scammed out of but ended up needing a new computer. So out of pocket by about a thousand dollars.
I don't feel sorry for him.
I did the first time. And the 2nd time he let a stranger on the phone take control of his computer I still felt bad for him. But geez, how many lessons do you need?
I give up, if you haven't learnt by now, you never will. His bank has been incredibly nice to him, but you would imagine there's a point where they stop being nice.
