Surprisingly, there were no false claims of my SSN behind used to launder money and smuggle drugs through the US-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas. This was instead your typical refund scam.
- After he berated me for yelling, I faked his ConnectWise not working and forced “Mark” to use AnyDesk and ask me to log into my nonexistent bank account.
- Since I don’t do online banking, I was asked to hang up the call to accept a callback from his “senior supervisor, Mark,” from his TextNow number (818) 538-5516, and he threatened to have the FBI arrest me and lock me up for 20 years for simply yelling at him.
- “Mark” then asked me if I was using a smartphone before asking me to purchase four $500 Apple gift cards. I pulled up the Bhenchod Song under the guise of a Google Maps listing for a local CVS.
