Description

Received text message appearing to be Amazon including order ID 569-97812-340949 and "your card" debit amount of $745.00, along with contact phone number (8449266391) to stop transaction. Called number, person answered and asked me to enter amount from text to reverse charge, then started shouting that I had entered $7450.00. I apologized. Person on phone asked me to go to my bank to reverse charge via ATM (bank was not open) and remained on phone entire time. Use bank debit card to reverse funds entered in error. (two transactions ($1400 and $870.00) then ATM rejected further withdrawals due to daily limit. (Receipts from ATM have "LibertyX at top and funds transferred to Bitcoin (payment ID's 220992575564 and 798336047712). Return home and found "green" screen on my laptop. Told person on phone to remove screen or I would call police. Screen was removed and on desktop I could see my bank accounts open on screen. I immediately shut laptop and phone off and went to my bank. At the bank manager found more transactions posted for a total of $8988. Bank worked with their fraud division and myself. All charges but $2270 (ATM transactions) were reversed.
