Always hear these stories and how people can be so stupid, well my mom bit hook line and sinker to calling a number on some random alert that popped up on her computer and gave the person on the other end access to control her computer and "help her". Immediately started threatening her with personal information they found on her computer. She owns her own business and all tax and account information is on this computer.
She called me in the middle of this and Ifirst thing I did was have her turn her computer off, start going through the three credit agencies to lock down credit.
This morning having her call all bank accounts, both personal and business to get alerts / freeze accounts.
Should she close accounts and open new ones? Are there other things I should have her do?
