    Pop Up Scam


    Can someone help me with a possible scam I just encountered with Tectroid Solutions? They claimed to be a Microsoft IT partner. I made the mistake of giving them a picture of a check, my drivers license and address. They accessed my computer and once I bought on to the possibility of a scam i unplugged the computer from the internet. What should I do now? Has anyone else heard of Tectroid Solutions?

    :)
