Quote:After an Arlington woman's Facebook account was hacked she called what she thought was a Facebook customer service number, and that landed her in even more trouble.

Suzanne Dougherty uses Facebook to connect with friends and family both near and far. "When I entered my password it wouldn’t accept it," Dougherty said. She tried to have a new Facebook password sent to her email address and her cell phone, but the password never came. And later that day, she started hearing from concerned friends and relatives.

"I'm getting phone calls saying 'are you in Manila. Do you need $500?'" she explained. That’s when Dougherty realized her account had been hacked. She Google’d "Facebook customer service" and came across an 844 number.

"I specifically asked 'are you with Facebook?  And they said yes," she said. Dougherty said the person on the phone asked if she could get on her laptop so he could log into her account remotely. She did so, and the man confirmed that she had been hacked.

"He said I show that 20 people have reported you for posting pornography," she said. "I felt violated because that’s something I would never do and so that was very frightening to me."

She said the man told her he saw 13 people from Spain that were logged into her account. "He said these people now have access to your bank account, your credit card, your Amazon account," said Dougherty.

She asked the man on the phone if he could delete her account completely, and was told he'd have to charge her about $250 to do so.

And that’s when she knew.

"This was not Facebook and that I had been scammed. I’ve given access to my laptop to a scammer," she said.

Absolutely agree.

A little while back, I experienced a similar scam pertaining to accessing my PC remotely. I obviously knew It was a scam right from the onset, and had the guy on the phone for over 30 minutes- hitting him with all kinds of technical computing questions and replies. He ended up terminating the call abruptly.

You should create a VM, put a fake bank rat on your desktop for them to open on theres and so, you can download all there files across to yours or, a key logger.
