On June 21 the scammer told me upon my phone call to them that Norton AntiVirus was being installed automatically as a renewal on my son's PC at a cost of $399.99. They said that they could transfer $400 to my bank account to compensate for the invoice coming. I went to my bank account website and waited for the payment transfer while sharing my screen with them. When I saw the total transferred it was $20,000 in my checking account and we agreed an error was made. They said the only way to correct this overage was for me to purchase and send them store gift cards with the information on backside.
On June 21 I went to different stores and provided them the card info. My wife noticed that the $20,000 was a transfer from our savings account to the checking account, and that they did not send any money to us. I confronted them on by phone on June 22 and they continued to complain that I only sent them $19,000 and it should have been $19,600. The episode broke down when I demanded a real electronic transfer of funds from their bank to mine.

This is an ancient scam- look up Jim Browning on YouTube, he goes through exactly as it works. The scammer conned you into thinking you had accidentally put in more than your "refund," when in fact he just manipulated your bank info to look like they had given you money. Then you sent them REAL money. Your money is gone. Please educate yourself on scams like this, before you bankrupt your family. And never, EVER give anyone access to your computer like this ever again.
