Description

When I went to look at a link in an email, a screen popped up that said I had a virus. I was to call Microsoft at 1 866-988-0128, so I called the number. After she got enough information to get into my computer she removed the warning screen. They told me my Microsoft windows defender was out dated and Microsoft tech support would call me to remove it. I was to receive refund on outdated windows defender. A different person called me. 1 325-320-6145 He wanted my bank name and my checking account number. I gave him bank name, but not account numbers. Then he want credit card number. I gave them my credit card numbers. He wanted me to go to my bank to get my information and he would call back. At this point I should have put my computer in airplane mode. I found out later while I was on the phone they tried to buy a $500.00 dollar gift card from Walmart with my credit card. Walmart declined the sale. They also try Amazon. I called credit card and reported scam. Went to bank to check with them. He tried to call back, I didn't answer. Bank requested I talk to Police. I did. Date of scam Wednesday 10-22-2025.
