A guy named Ryan contacted me purporting to be from my usual company advising that my usual contact was ill and that he was looking after my account. He advised that I had hacker activity on my computer and that it had come to their notice and said that there was software available that would stop the activity

As I have had hackers, I was not surprised and happy to allow him to sell the software to me and install it on the computer as I have done in the past with my normal software supplier.

The cost of the software was C$65.33 for 1 year which I agreed to and he then went on to complete the bank security form to allow the transaction to go through.

After the software was loaded, he immediately confirmed all costs to me and then promptly deleted the confirmation and cleared out the delete box so I had no record of the transaction

A little while later I received a call from Visa to confirm the transaction and they advised that there was also a transaction for U$634.98 which I had never authorized but because all the security details were correct they issued payment to Global Connect Cloud in India.

I spoke to a Martin Jones at Global Connect Cloud today and he checked to see if a transaction showed on their books but nothing came up and he offered to repay me an immediate U$370 if I would open up my computer so that he could send the required form to me and he sent a copy of the official logo for GCC which was different to the one that Ryan had sent to me. However, the one that Ryan sent to me is the same as the one shown on GCC's letterhead so its all a scam and I am out this money which is half the amount of my Canadian pension so I don't know what to do this month for money.
