Normal
Not me personally. I've had customers at work who have had their bank accounts messed with, though it's not because of a virus/malware/keylogger/etc. but because they're elderly people who were tricked into giving fake tech support scammers their info.What I've seen is the fake tech support will either cold call or create full-screen popup ads that proclaims the computer is infected and they need to call this phone number, then once they're remoted into the computer the scammers will pull up event viewer and show how there's all these errors. Event viewer errors are perfectly normal, but most people don't know that, so too often they'll take up the scammer's offer to clean the computer and get rid of the viruses and hackers.So at the end of the "cleanup" the scammers charge anywhere from $100-$600 for their services. But some of the scammers have the gall to followup a few weeks later and give some story about how they accidentally overcharged and they need to process a refund, they just need the bank account info to proceed...
