But I was so gullible, but somehow as I was just about to finished giving them access to my checking account, I stopped with the last digitsTHEY ARE HACKERS!!! Plain and simple criminals-trying to scare people into giving them moneySpeak with an Indian accent, and are indeed in India and CaliforniaPlease do not fall for their ployAs soon as I refused to enter the last digits, my computer was up and running just fineStill I got it cleaned professionally, and the error came up again a few days agoThis time we kept closing it, and finally got rid of the pageNow have to get more advice for security on my computerDefinitely deserve an F-
