Had an alert from MIcrosoft/Windows ring the number and they will fix it. Tricked me into transferring $17820 to them while they had control of my PC. Turned off PC when I realised it was a scam. Had to change all bank account numbers. The person who conned me was very knowledgeable about computers.

Caller: John

Alert on facebook - told me to ring this number - they answered windows support and told me I had been hacked. They would fix the problem - said bank had been hacked. They had all my banking details and then stole all of my money.

Caller: Indian male

Had an alert from MIcrosft/Windows ring the number and they will fix it. They had info about accounts and then he cleared all of my money out didn't realise but rang Bendigo - they said tough luck all your money has gone.

They put an alert on my computer and it was virtually frozen. The message said that I had to call this number ( Microsoft ) to have my computer unlocked. I was on th phone for 1 hr 39 minutes and they just didn't sound right ? Lucky I hung up and pulled the pin ( Shut down my computer and turned off my modem for around 6 hours.) as they had started manipulating my bank accounts.
