A female student reported Sunday that she had been scammed through an online technical support subscription. The student received a call a few days after the purchase saying that the business was shutting down and needed to refund her the money. The caller asked for access to her computer and made it look as though they had put $2,000 into her bank account. She was told to go to Western Union and send a check for $1,700 to repay back to the company. After doing so, she found that no money had been put into her bank account, so she had sent them $1,700 of her personal money.
