I said, "If you think I'm going to let you take over my desktop, you're insane" (even though I was on my iPhone at this point, but whatever). I didn't download it, but saw it was a remote desktop app. He told me to secure the account (first clue: it's my husband's account, not mine, so no way I could secure anything), and told me to go on the App Store and download "Any desk". At this point I figured it was a scam but I decided to see where it would go. Guy with a massive foreign accent said that someone ordered an iPhone 11 from my husband's Amazon account. Finally I got tired of it and answered, just to tell them to knock it off. These people were calling literally every five minutes to our landline phone that goes to voicemail. My question is since I didn't accept the security attempt he kept trying to get me to accept is there any way possible he may still be able to access my information? They told me there was no attempt and I almost got scammed. I then called Amazon and changed password. I read it and it said only agree if you trust this company or number trying to access your phone so I backed out and hung up the phone and then uninstalled anydesk. He ignored me and said you really need to just click on accept so he sent it again. I did not click on it but asked him why I couldn't just call amazon to fix situation. He then said that amazon was sending a security (something) and I would need to click on accept quickly or I would they would have to resend again.
#ANYDESK SCAMS CODE#
There was a 9 digit code he told me to write down because I would need it later. My dumbass went as far as downloading the anydesk app and pluggin.
I got a call today saying someone was trying to make an attempt to buy an iPhone on Amazon account for $900.
