Description

I called what I thought was a spectrum helpline to help with my wi-fi. They said my account was red flagged for gambling and other illegal things, my IP address was compromised. I needed to talk to a federal agent which they connected me to. They advised me to take money out of my account and wanted me to deposit in a Bitcoin atm, which my bank supervisor was also on the line. . I requested a sheriff be present at my house while my husband was there , and we realized when they advised there was a sheriff at the house and wasn't it was an eleborate scam.
