Description

I believe that it was not only a scam but identity theft. Kevin Jones (probably not his real name) called on February 4, 2025 and said he represented Google and that my gmail had been compromised and was being used for illegal activity in Indonesia and January 23, 2025. He knew my social security number and my two credit card numbers. He was phishing for more information as he wanted me to give him access to my computer. I told him I would not give him access and that I wanted to end this conversation. He called back 4 times that day and 4 times on the following day February 5, 2025. The first time on February 5, 2025 I told him I did not want to talk to him. He called 3 more times and we did not answer the phone. He called once again yesterday, February. 12, 2025. He had access to my gmail account and kept changing the password and the recovery phone number. I have deleted that email account.
