    I think I got the defender pop up scam and gave the person remote access to help me run...


    I was scammed by someone posing as a windows defender support specialist. They had remote access to my computer to run diagnostics and tell me what to do. They had me log in to my accounts to verify if any activity was suspicious and told me they would issue a hacking report to me within a few business days. I was in school at the time and stressed about making sure my computer was good. I never received a report. What do I do now?

    :)
