Called my mobile. An automated voice (to start with) which claimed to be PayPal, said it was regarding a transaction and I was being put through to a support engineer and to stay on the line by my PC. Then a Filipino sounding male came on the line said he was PayPal Support and there was transaction of $879- on eBay which appeared to be fraudulent, most likely as a result of clicking on an advertisement. He asked me to start my computer up and advise him when it was started so he could take control and fix the infection. By which time I had terminated the call.
