A Chattooga County woman reported an incident of fraud to the sheriff’s department this week.

The complainant told a deputy that an alert popped up on her computer and when she called the listed phone number, she spoke with a man who identified himself as being with Microsoft.  After giving the man permission to remotely take control of her computer and her cell phone, she discovered she was the victim of a scammer.

The complainant spoke with United Community Bank and they told her that it appeared a transaction was trying to post to her account.  She was not so fortunate with her account at Regions.  When she checked with Regions she found that all the money in her account had been withdrawn.

The complainant asked for a report to be filed by the sheriff’s office.
