Subject: RE: Did I Get Scammed?


jonas grumby - 4/27/2017 13:46 Windows 10 was locked up. I could not do anything. There was an 888 phone number to call. They said my network was hacked. They were able to remotely take over my computer. I needed to buy a $299 protection plan. They are now cleaning my computer. Everything looked legit. I'm thinking if it was not legit they just would have monitored my computer and got my private stuff when I used them. So basically I am wondering if when you get hacked will Microsoft lock up windows 10 and give you a number to call?

Yep.  There are ways around that trick.  Personally, I would wipe that drive completely and reinstall the OS tonight.  Who knows what is now on your system.

Good luck!
