SCAM WARNING - SCAM WARNING

I recently visited a client to clean their computer from any malware, spyware and remote access programs.

Apart from the cleaning of the computer, what was more interesting was; how they were SCAMED.

Having dealings with various financial institutions, including Bitcoin, including a specific transaction with Bitcoin that morning, they received a call later in the day from an identified person.

Referring to a known person of that institution, advising their transaction conducted that day was incorrect and access to their computer was warranted to correct the transaction.

Once the SCAMMER convicted the client of the transaction error, installing AnyDesk, successfully transferred over $30K from two accounts including a joint account.

Not withstanding the Banks responsibility in money transfers, the most important issue with the above is, SCAMMERS are now using REAL INFORMATION to lower your guard to gain access to your computer and your money.

DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, WITH YOUR COMPUTER

DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER

ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER CAN RESULT IN FINANCIAL LOSS AND IDENTITY THEFT

Please share this WARNING to alert others of a new SCAMMING process.
