This includes any financial accounts, such as your online banking. Once they have access to your screen, they can access your personal information. The scam can only take place if you download the software and allow them to take control of your screen. It could be through your phone, laptop or computer.
This could be software such as AnyDesk, Microsoft Teams, TeamViewer or Zoom. This could be software you have heard of or have used before with work, friends or family. The type of scams may vary, whether that’s help with an investment or a banking service, the scammer will typically ask you to download legitimate screen sharing software.
AnyDesk itself is not a scan, but I would recommend to at least delete the nf file located at programdata\AnyDesk and restart AnyDesk Service (ideally the entire folder) so you will get a new AnyDesk ID, which the scammer does not know about. Once a scammer has contacted you, they will try and gain your trust and convince you they can help. So again this depends on what the scammer have done while connected. Or when searching online for an investment opportunity or the contact details for a company. You may be contacted out of the blue through social media or over the phone. A screen sharing scam is the method someone might use to take information from you or access your accounts to transfer your money.
