Description

Caller said he was from my internet service and that my service was being hacked by numerous numbers in Nigeria. In order to help me identify the numbers they were calling from in order to report fraud to the authorities he needed my Apple password which I didn’t give him. He then said I needed to go to a website called AskDesk. I did and then he asked me to type in commands which I did twice; but then I felt uneasy and began to ask him questions. He got aggravated with me quickly and when I asked him if this was going to cost me anything he stated that he would discuss that with me at the end of our conversation depending on what he found. I hung up at that point. Hopefully he wasn’t able to access my personal info.
