John Cooper (but with a very strong Indian accent) talked me into giving them control of my computer remotely and paid them over $100 by credit card and giving them access to my credit card which I canceled immediately after

Internet & Web

I received a phone call last Saturday afternoon, just after being released from hospital so I wasn't really aware of what I was doing. A man with a very strong Indian accent said he was calling for my internet provider saying that they had had a notice on their end that I had 98.98% corruption in my computer files. He talked me into using my credit card (I put my credit card details on the page so he had access to my password and everything) and I paid over $100 Australian for 12 months guarantee of no more pc viruses etc. Luckily I had sent my sister an sms while watching my monitor as they did their thing and she rang me straight away and told me to turn the pc off and disconnect the modem which I did immediately. The Indian actually rang me back to ask why I had terminated before he was finished. He denied that he was scamming me and I hung up on him.
I rang my internet provider and gave them his information and did the same with my credit card bank.
I don't know if I will get the money back or not but I'm not holding my breath.

While typing this, he just rang me back again and I said I wasn't interested and hung up on him again.
I hope this helps somebody in the future.
