Scam Description
On Aug. 22, 2022, I was looking up a company, Start-Sampling.com, on the BBB.org web site. I clinked on the web link for Start-Sampling, and it triggered a Windows Defender’s warning web page. I contacted the Microsoft Support phone number provided, and the tech. said that I was transferring money to www.pornhub.com at 4:30 AM, when I was sleeping at the time. A team of 2-3 hackers were trying to get me to transfer money from my bank. Over time, I manage to catch on to what was going on, and prevented any money from being transfer. I have since taken steps to to improve my on-line security.
