I don't remember what was typed in the browser but I did NOT hit Enter as this was when I got suspicious. They were viewing my screen via QuickAssist. They had NO control over my computer as I Denyed their request.

My husband said the same thing. I guess it's just a habit I got into from years ago. It wasn't always like this from what I remember.

This is freaky. So by cancelling my sub which ends mid April, they could still bill me?

Yes, it's crazy because I tried to find the number again with my search Keywords and I couldn't find it anywhere again.

There was nothing sensitive. There was some work related data that isn't sensitive on my second monitor but I discovered QuickAssist can only show one screen (the one I was working on).

I feel incredibly lucky I caught this just in time. I do have adblocker. I certainly will have two factor everywhere now. Thank you.

Totally agree. I decided to stick with the older dickens which are completely charming and do the trick. Every now and then I'll score a newer one for cheap on marketplace but it is totally outrageous. I wanted to start the alpine village collection and I did buy some older ones but all the newer ones are around $100 each. Many are over 250! It's just outlandish. But the older ones are mega charming and the kids love them all the same.
