Description

I received an email from what I thought was Paypal. It came from [email protected] I was instructed to call 8055008722. I called and they had me login to paypal on my desktop and gave me a code to enter into the paypal service window. I believe this to have given them access to my computer temporarily. They also told me to login to my bank app. My computer then started to "update" at this point I logged out of everything and got off of the phone stating that I was going to contact my bank and they hung up once hearing that. I have removed money from my account and plan to change my bank account information. I have also updated all passwords
