VPN/Firewall scam

1-877-242-2013, a pop up alert that computer was hacked and was going to shut off and all personal data would be lost if you don’t immediately call this number. A Sri Lanka native and co-hackers installed fraudulent

Webroot firewall and CCleaner and sold me a lifetime transferable VPN all of which were fraudulent. I am computer ignorant and very gullible and gave them everything they wanted. Luckily I was able to contact the owner of one of the companies that the hacker represented and they sent me a cashiers check for the money I was dupped out of. I’m waiting for it to clear. The installations were removed and I took my computer to a technician to scan and remove the stuff I didn’t know about. All I do is shop and play a few games. And I’m too trusting.
