My problems began when my computer crashed. This is the screen that set everything off.

I couldn’t control my mouse. Was afraid to turn off my computer.

I called my SIL who’s really good with computers. Because of this image, I couldn’t share my log in with him. The only thing he came up with was to turn off the computer.

When I restarted, my computer was back to normal. For a day. Then the screen returned.

I got a call from “Microsoft Security” which unfortunately I thought was real. It isn’t, so if you receive that call, DO NOT ANSWER!

Things spiraled rapidly.

My husband got our bank account flagged, thank goodness. Someone attempted to use my credit card to buy stuff from Amazon. I cancelled the card and notified the bank. It was also flagged, which was good, because they attempted to use it several more times.

Then they found my JCPenney card and tried to charge things with it. I got that cancelled and flagged.

Meanwhile my computer went to be cleaned up. They found five viruses imbedded, several connected to the dark web.

Please be careful!
