Description
I received an email from [email protected] saying a suspicious charge in on my account. GOOGLE said it was a real paypal email. I called (805) 500-8413. I was told to go to updatesecurity.net , download paypal.excx and log into my checking account. I did. That was when I realized something was wrong. I turned off my pc. He told me I needed to reconnect. I said no. he hung up. I do not know what he did to my laptop and if I will loose data, money, or took my email list.
