Description

I called a number that I thought was Microsoft customer support. I could not access my email and the dude told me my information had been compromised and we had to do a test charge. He told me no money would come out of my account. After I completed the test charge, the phone line went dead. I called the number back and got nothing. That is when I realized I had gotten scammed.
