Description
Company placed ransomware on my computer then pretended to be an IT security company helping to get the ransomware off my computer. I wrote a check for $699.23 then scanned it to them for removal of the ransomware. (they never admitted it was their ransomware obviously) . They converted the check to an ACH Transfer and withdrew the funds on 2-6-23 and again on 2-9-23. They electronically affixed my signature to their fake service agreement. They also go by the name Nova Tech and used multiple phone numbers. When I asked why nothing came up when I googled them they said they have a complaint in to Google. My bank said that ACH Transfer Fraud it the fastest growing type of fraud currently being used.
