    This is a Security Scam


    Something took over my computer, said the ssl files were missing. I called the number on the screen <Removed> tech said he was working on my issue and then sent a message on note pad that he wanted 30,000 dollars or he would ruin my life. Then he put are you still there ****Then the techs from My Tech called to let me know something was going on. <Removed>. Want to charge me again to put security on my computer, because it was my fault. 799.99 or 499.99. Feels like I'm being scammed. [Original Title: Security scam]
