Got Scammed?

Take the appropriate measures to regain your security!

If you paid a tech support scammer with a credit or debit card, you may be able to stop the transaction. Contact your credit card company or bank right away by appearing in a branch, or by using the phone number on the back of your card, or listed on your bank statement. DON'T GOOGLE THE PHONE NUMBER!! Tell them what happened and ask if they can reverse the charges.
If you gave a scammer remote access to your computer, turn it off immediately. Your computer needs to be cleaned and have their remote access removed. Contact us if we can help! 530.272.6680
If you gave a scammer any of your passwords, change those passwords immediately! Contact us if we can help! 530.272.6680

Report the Scammers

Report the scam to your local law enforcement! While they may not be able to "go after" the scammer, knowing what scams are impacting local residents is very helpful to law enforcement to help prevent future attacks.

Scams can also be reported to the FBI and the FTC!
