I'm being scammed and I don't know what to do.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Do nothing. Examine everything minutely.

You did the right thing posting here looking for help and advice.

It was a mistake to call the number. Make and accept no calls dealing with this. Answer no emails, but do read them. Don't encourage them in any way, not even to tell them to f-off.

Make sure your mail program blocks "Remote Content" because that is how scammers know who opened an email. For example the images in an email will all have tags embedded in their URLs which they can decode and each email has different tags on the images according to the address it was sent to.

Basically, they will try a bit to escalate with scare tactics. Watch it all, document it all, keep a chronology. When dealing with scams and potential scams, move slowly and think very carefully.
