Tech Support Nightmare: How Hackers Stole Everything
Linda’s Story
Linda, 69, from Arizona, was browsing the internet when a big red warning popped up on her screen:
“YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN HACKED! CALL MICROSOFT SECURITY IMMEDIATELY: 1-800-XXX-XXXX”
The screen wouldn’t go away. Her webcam light turned on. She panicked.
She called the number. A man named “David” answered. He was very professional and explained that hackers were stealing her bank information RIGHT NOW. He could help her secure her computer - but she had to act fast.
