So if that’s all the info they have how does he know that my phone has a virus. I asked him what is all the information they have on me and he said my name and number. If he doesn’t know what number it is how does he know it’s an iPhone. Which made me question how does he even know that I have an iPhone.
First of all if you can see that I have an iPhone wouldn’t you know which number iPhone I have and he said not technically. He asked me do I have an iPhone 12,11 or 10 which made it obvious this was a scam. He began stuttering and constantly clearing his throat.

He asked me to go to my settings then my payment tab which I refused to do. He asked me to download this app and he started recording my actions on my screen. I gave them the invoice number in the email and he said someone from Texas has been charging to a PayPal account opened under my email for a couple months. I called the number and they claimed to be PayPal. I received an email from PayPal stating someone was trying to fraudulently use my PayPal account for charges (I don’t have a PayPal account, but that doesn’t mean someone didn’t open one in my name).
