Description

I received a call from 'Aaron' at Comcast/Xfinity, saying that my Wifi had been hacked. And was used to download porn and child porn. He mentioned how many videos were being uploaded and that he would be deleting them. And that someone from the Federal Trade Commission would be reaching out. And they apparently did so, from an 'FTC' number, starting with 202 in DC. He said my license was used to rent a car in Texas, that was found with cocaine in it. So the FBI also got involved with the DEA. and that they were using my ID and Social (which I didnt give them thank goodness,) to open accounts. And when I asked, that I shouldn't report it to Experian, as that would shake them off and make it harder for the authorities to find them. I asked for his ID; he emailed me his photo on his FTC badge.... A week later I called the real FTC and placed an inquiry. The whole thing was a huge scam, very clever. I did mention which accounts I had, but no numbers, thank goodness. And the Real FTC emailed me and started a case file on their side. Thank goodness nothing came about on my accounts..... But I am filing a report with Experian... (I thought I was 'Un-scammable,' and smart, oh well, I will be Smarter now!)
