Hi, I have a file called android/trojanSlocker.CX on my Samsung Galaxy S6, it displays a message alerted me that I will be prosecuted from the FBI and criminalized if I don’t pay $500 through green dot moneypak within the next 24 hours and it had my address, city, and everything!!! It also says I am being recorded. Is this really able to record my audio visually? I’m pretty freaked out because I didn’t do anything!!! However, I searched this FBI attention notification thing online in order to know if there is someone met same situation as me. So I know that it is not from the real FBI. Anyway, my phone is now locked on their notification screen, and the only thing I can click on is a link to a site where I can purchase a $500 Green Dot card to pay them the “fine” How do I get rid of this and get my phone unlocked?
