I then went to look on line for some kind of hotmail support and the first thing I found claimed to be a live support team one can call on the phone. When someone answered he asked my name, date of birth, and whether or
not I used my emails for business or personal use. He also asked if I were on a mobile device or a regular computer. He then told me I needed to go to Google and type in logmein123, which I did. Then I got a screen that came up when I clicked on that site
https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/customer/code.aspx and he gave me a code to type in to access it. I was starting to get very uneasy that he needed so much personal
info. as he had a thick indian accent and I have heard of telephone scams where people call YOU from overseas and try to access information to steal identities. Just after I typed in this code it appeared to activate something, so I asked what he was going
to do now, and he informed me that this site gave him direct access to my computer, That is when I panicked and told him that I was not comfortable with this at all and hung up, immediately logging off of my computer. I logged back in soon after, and found
this place. Some of what I have read since indicates this was legitimate, some claim it is a scam, but I am very concerned now that I may have unleashed some kind of virus or worse!
I managed to get back into one of my accounts and immediately changed my password, but I have serious doubts I will be able to access the other two. Please help!
