Falsely Claims:

  • I was “rushing” when I was using my normal speaking voice.
  • Several transactions red flagged: $50,000 to gambling website in Mexico, $90,000 to CHILD P0RNOGRAPHY from Russia.

Once remotely connected to my virtual machine, the incredibly-invasive “William” asked me to run the “netstat” and “tree” commands in the Command Prompt before blanking my screen with a fake system update.

  • Once the “final scan” is complete, “William” will falsely claim my IP address was used for “illegal purposes,” such as online gambling, trafficking drugs and subscribing to CHILD P0RN FROM P0RNHUB at 6:48 AM via the Clampi virus.
  • After blanking my screen once more because I refuse to disclose what I see on my computer screen every minute, “William” asked for me to log into my nonexistent bank account.
  • However, since I don’t do online banking, “William” searched for my fake bank on Google and asked for me to call his “secure line number” of (513) 914-6399, carried via Google Voice.

  • I was then asked to confirm my name, date of birth and Social Security number before transferring the call to his coworker, posing as “Officer David Black from the Federal Trade Commission” but refusing to “suppoat”

“Officer Black” called me back from the same Google Voice line, falsely accusing me of hanging up on him and calling me a “dickhead,” “motherfucker” and a “son of a bitch”
