This is the first i've heard of this. Take heart, D D, they're very sophisticated, this could happen to almost anyone without a background in computing. I sincerely hope the damage is not too severe.

Thanks Tri, More the feeling of vulnerability and shame of falling for the heist. Just under 5 thousand.

Very sorry, that's a small fortune to many. I assume it must have been a debit/ACH transaction? Obviously if not call your credit card company immediately, but i'm sure that's not the issue, I wish it were. =(

I've read stories about PHDs getting taken for far more. My grandmother was taken for 70 grand by a close "friend" and she was as smart as a whip. These flim-flam-man predators will be paying far more than they've gained when the bill come due in the afterlife.

You're in my prayers.

I really appreciate your sentiment, I agree that no-one gets away with anything, wouldn't it be something if that was taught from an early age. This was orchestrated by East Indian guys if their accent is any clue. They know about karma and sometime or other, will get a dose.
