Scammed? What to Do Next & How CompuRepair Can Help You Reclaim Your Digital Life
Date: June 02, 2025
The sinking feeling in your stomach. The realization that you've been tricked. Being scammed, whether through a phishing email, a fake tech support call, or an online impostor, is a deeply unsettling experience. Beyond the immediate financial loss, scams can leave your computer compromised, your personal data exposed, and your bank accounts at risk.
At CompuRepair, we understand the distress and confusion that follows a scam. While we can't recover lost funds, we can help you secure your digital environment, prevent further damage, and provide the crucial documentation you need to report the incident and work with your bank.
You've Been Scammed – What Now? Immediate Steps to Take
If you suspect you've been scammed, especially if you've given remote access to your computer, shared passwords, or made suspicious payments, take these steps immediately:
- Disconnect from the Internet:
Unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your Wi-Fi to stop any ongoing malicious activity.
- Contact Your Bank/Financial Institutions:
Report unauthorized transactions immediately. Inform them that your computer may be compromised if you gave remote access.
- Change Critical Passwords:
Use a different, uncompromised device to change passwords for your bank, email, social media, and any other important accounts. Use strong, unique passwords.
- Report the Scam:
Contact the relevant authorities (e.g., Scamwatch in Australia, your local police).
- Do NOT try to fix it yourself:
Malicious software can be hidden deep within your system. Trying to remove it without expert knowledge can cause more damage or leave hidden backdoors open.
