Any desk Scam!
Do not download when you call the ebay number for assistance!!!!!! I feel so violated they had me logging into my bank account, looked through my photos, and were speaking another language between the 2 men I communicated with. When I told them I was contacting my bank- they hung up on me!
They told me I had red flags on my account and they needed me to download the anydesk app to remove the flags. I don’t have any red flags at all!

·4 years agoI called that fake customer service too, the phone number comes up on Google. He asked me to download the app TeamViewer QuickSupport. I did download the app but didn't give him the 9 digit pin number which he was calling my "case number" but it's actually the remote code. I hung up and uninstalled the Quick support app.

·4 years agorun full virus and malware scanner after updating it. Just by allowing the app to download:
it may have also placed other stuff on your system.

·4 years agoI did the scan and nothing was detected.
There were a few red flags when I called the fake number: for one, I was surprised to get through to someone so fast, usually you have to wait. Also the guy wanted my first and last name and email address to verify my identity, I only gave part of my email. I told him I had a question about my seller payout and he kept calling it a refund, so that was another red flag. Then he wanted to know how I wanted refund sent, cashapp, zelle, etc. But I don't have any of those set up on my ebay account. After I downloaded the quick support app and he wanted the access code, I told him I would call back later and he gave me another number to call, said it was his direct line (332) 333-6742. About 2 hours later my phone rang and that 333 number was on my caller i.d. but I didn't answer

·3 years agoThis just happened to me , same scenario, but they had me download anydesk app. But once the guy wanted me to give him full access to my phone remotely I pumped the brakes . He kept trying to have me move forward with the anydesk app , so I uninstalled the app , and ran a mcaffe security scan. Nothing came up , so hopefully nothing happens ...
