On December 5, a representative from Tech PC Solutions contacted the woman again and advised her the company was going out of business and they would be refunding her $500. In order to do so, the woman was instructed to give the company remote access to her computer. She complied and was then told to log into her TD Bank Money Market Account. She was told to type in “$500” into her account in order for Tech PC Solutions to refund her $500. Having control of her computer, however, the representative from Tech PC Solutions changed the amount of $500 to $50,000 and was in actuality transferring the money out of her account into theirs. The caller then convinced the woman that she had been accidentally refunded $50,000 instead of $500 and that she actually owed $49,300 back to Tech PC Solutions. She was directed to use a wire transfer to send the money to Sakuna Sawangasri at Bangkok Bank Tesco Lotus Pakchong in Thailand and she complied. On December 18 she was again contacted by a party named Roger who claimed to work for Tech PC Solutions and advised her that the wire transfer had not been accepted by the bank and she needed to do it again. During this time, the caller had moved money between the woman’s two bank accounts without her knowledge as they still had remote access. This time she was advised to transfer the money to Anya Paromya at the same bank in Thailand. The woman then responded to TD Bank and proceeded to transfer an additional $49,300. On the morning of December 19, a rep from TD Bank fraud department advised her that they believed she had been scammed. Upon reviewing her account, it was discovered that she had only $800 in accounts that should have contained closer to $100,000.
