An elderly San Antonio couple was tricked out of their savings in a cold, calculated scam that started with a computer pop-up warning.
– Dennis Shockey logged on to his computer after breakfast like he did every morning. He was about to be sucked into a month-long swindle that wiped out a lifetime of savings for the 80-year-old retiree and his wife, Joy.
For the Shockeys, the nightmare started with his computer screen locked and a warning popped up on the screen. It had a phone number for whom he thought was Microsoft.He spoke to a woman who called herself “Jessica.” She was kind, concerned, and convincing. “They get you under emotional ether. They get you quickly to fight or flight. I have to solve this problem today,” she said. “And, to be honest, they are good at what they do.”
