A 66-year-old West Chester Township, Ohio, lady is out about $3,300 after somebody professing to be a Microsoft delegate purportedly assumed control over her PC, made an issue and charged her fix it.
Township representative Barb Wilson clarified how the trick functioned.
"It shows up as though the casualty purchased something off the web which was not an authentic Microsoft item," Wilson said. "From this exchange, the individual picked up her contact data and access to her PC. The 'rep' said the PC issue could be settled with installment made with Google gift vouchers, which she gave."
