VerifiedHi! You’re speaking with John Melis, a solicitor in Australia.
There is a possibility you may have been scammed. What I suggest you do is engage a digital forensics expert, so that they can track down this organisation to their location so you may raise a claim and seek compensation from them.
You may raise a claim in the court once you have the relevant details.
Many online crimes occur over time by a party, watching your actions through the computer. That is how they steal information for bank accounts, etc..
So, in summary:
[1] Change bank account password *****
[2] cancel credit cards and get new ones.
[3] Reformat computer.
[4] Contact ACORN
https://www.acorn.gov.au
Would you like to consider this option?
You have a legal right to protect your interests in this critical situation.
