She was instructed to call the “helpline” at 1-888-796-6668. A Windows Security Alert, nearly identical to the ones generated by Windows Defender, displayed the same message.
Rebecca picked up her phone and called the number, beginning an hours-long odyssey that ended with Rebecca losing more than $20,000 to a sophisticated team of criminals before she realized she was the victim of an elaborate scam.
It started with “Jack Williams,” the alleged tech support worker who answered her call. He walked Rebecca through running diagnostics on her device. He then delivered frightening news -- her identity had been stolen and her phone had been hacked. He said he would call back from a “secure line,” which he did.
“He said the diagnostics showed hundreds of attempts at hacking my computer and also showed my phone was compromised and this was all coming from China,” Rebecca told ConsumerAffairs.
Fear and salvation
As her fear rose, Rebecca did not stop to consider how a Microsoft tech could know her identity had been stolen or that her Verizon phone had been hacked. Scammers count on that. They keep building the fear, then offer salvation.
“He then said he would call me back once he had secured my computer, but then they could see that a transfer of $10,500 was pending with American Express to www.betonline.net and that since the phone was hacked when American Express contacted me to verify the money, they diverted the contact and approved it,” Rebecca said.
Now, Rebecca was beginning to panic. She was told she was being transferred to American Express’ fraud department but was instead handed off to a female member of the scam team, who said her name was “Lisa Morgan.”
Even more bizarre turn
Next, the story took an even more bizarre turn. The alleged American Express fraud specialist explained to Rebecca that they could store the stolen money on “secure cards,” meaning gift cards. “Lisa Morgan” stayed on the line with Rebecca for hours as she went to various Target stores and purchased 38 gift cards totaling $20,800.
“She told me I needed to give her the card ID and access numbers so she could put the funds back once a 24-hour freeze on my Social Security number was complete,” Rebecca said. “I asked her repeatedly about why we needed to remove these funds and she said once the freeze was put on my Social Security number all assets would be seized. So I gave her the card IDs and access numbers.”
After Rebecca provided the numbers, the scammers disappeared, along with her money.
Her story is a cautionary tale about the importance of knowing how these criminals operate, including how they engage in psychological operations that prevent people from thinking rationally about their situation.
Vital information
Here is some information that every consumer should have to avoid this type of scam:
Microsoft says its error messages never contain a telephone number. Microsoft also never initiates a telephone call.
Scammers try to create a sense of fear and urgency. They want the victim to act without thinking.
The scammer tells the victim not to tell anyone what they are doing. This is always a sign of a scam.
The victim is told to pay using gift cards. This is a scam 100 percent of the time.
Once she realized she had been the victim of a crime, Rebecca did everything correctly. She contacted both American Express and Target to report what happened. She also filed a report with her local police department.
More importantly, she told her story. She says she hopes it prevents others from falling victim to scams.

Are there rules of etiquette you should follow when test driving or purchasing a car? Can installing a dash cam in your vehicle save you money on car insurance? This week, we answer these questions, and discuss other topics, including the rising prices on pickup trucks; why a car recall might show up on services like CARFAX but not on NHTSA.gov; why an auto manufacturer would design a car with tail lights in its bumper.

We recently rented a BMW M440i xDrive, and this week we give our first impressions of how this sporty coupe performed on the highway and at our track. We also offer advice on whether you should skip test drives due to COVID-19, if an Audi Q3 or Volvo XC40 is better for a city-dweller, the performance of winter run-flat tires, why some cars in Canada and Europe never make it to the US, and why importing a foreign car might be prohibitively expensive. ----------------------------------- Subscribe to Talking Cars on Apple Podcasts!

This week we have the test results of the 2020 RAM 1500 Diesel pickup truck, and discuss its impressive ride, whether it is "diesel enough," and how it stacks up against competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado diesel in the half-ton truck segment. Honda recently unveiled a prototype of its popular Civic, and we talk about its new chassis, exterior styling, and cabin. Subaru also made news, revealing the new BRZ, and we discuss if it can retain its sporty DNA from the previous generation and its sister model Toyota 86? We also share some of the key changes to the new Acura MDX redesign. Can having your key fob in your car drain your car's battery? We answer that, and cover other topics including if cars can have a country of origin anymore, and which off-road vehicle would be a viable replacement for a vintage Land Rover Defender. ----------------------------------- Subscribe to Talking Cars on Apple Podcasts!

Samsung cut $200 off the price of all three Galaxy S21 phones. The Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus come with a bunch of upgrades and refinements, including a striking new color scheme. But aside from their price, the phones aren’t massively different from their S20 counterparts. In fact, it seems Samsung scaled back on certain specs and features. We take a look at the tradeoffs that were made to hit that lower price.

FTC Video: Why Report Fraud? | Federal Trade Commission
Related Videos On: Why Report Fraud? | Federal Trade Commission
If you think you see a scam, talk with someone. Your story could help someone avoid that scam. Then report it to the Federal Trade Commission at https://ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Your story could help the FTC stop the scammers. ****************************** Transcript: We all see scams. Even if we don't buy into one, we all get the calls, emails, and letters. Why are there so many? Well, scammers see us all as targets, so they keep trying to get our money or Social Security number or account numbers. And they're good at what they do. They know how to knock us off balance just long enough to take advantage. That's why we need a plan. So if you think you've spotted a scam, what do you do? First, tell somebody. The call or email might seem urgent, but slow down. Talk to a family member, friend, or neighbor. Tell them the story. Sometimes just saying it out loud helps. Maybe your friend got a similar message or knows someone who has. Or your story might just help your neighbor avoid that scam. Then tell the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC sues scammers and works to shut them down. When you report a scam to the FTC, investigators use your information to build cases against scammers. Other law enforcement agencies can see the reports, too, and use them to further their own investigations. Your story makes a difference. Every report is a piece of the puzzle that lets the FTC see the full picture of what scammers are doing and then stop them, because scammers don't scam just one person. But you could be the one person whose story tips the balance, stops someone from falling for the scam, or stops the scammer. So tell your story. As soon as you think you see a scam, talk with someone, and then tell the FTC. ****************************** The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy.
