i get loads of your card or payment has been declined. all so far are junk mail, i never open any. i don't pay for cloud storage even though my payment has been declined, no Amazon stuff but get messages, and numerous others which i have no accounts with. all banks should cover all funds not made by you. totally sucks Rod, i only use a few sites. hope all works out with that software. and don't use a computer camera that shows your face at all..

also forgot to mention, scammers got me a few years ago and got all. all my personal info just after i moved into my apartment. my credit dropped like a bowling ball, slowly working my credit back up

This sucks but I fear it's going to get worse as scammers get more emboldened as people just don't fear any recourse from law or anything. You gotta play it like Batman, always anticipating the next move. Just stay frosty.

These scammers are getting smarter. I've managed to steer clear of them so far, so at this stage they're more of an annoyance than a threat. Nonetheless there's no room for complacency...

PS. My TMKF Girls would have another list of targets to deal to, if the TNA Girls need some extra brains/muscle.

Take care

I would love to take her for a dinner after she's done ... but I guess she'll be busy for the next years. Some years ago someone had bought a $800 coffee machine with my credit card. I didn't have to pay for that after all, but I had to confirm a hundred times to the card company that I did not order that. -- Why should I (in europe) order such a thing and let it ship to somewhere in Canada? May the force be with you that this is over soon.

My sympathy for all the trouble some creep caused you .

Take care Rod!!

Really sorry about your frustrations, Rod, you seem to have the same freak magnet that my mother has. That aside, I love how you've integrated the actual issue into the scifi here, like they are screens in her room. Wonderful work. :)

LOL... Well, I just reversed the poles on that magnet, so maybe it'll push them away instead!

Wonderful image! Sorry to hear about your problems with the scammers, Rod. Too bad the TNA girls can't be unleashed to sort out these scoundrels - it's a very frustrating and time-consuming problem for anyone who is affected by these activities.

Even here in Italy, online scammers are commonplace. Fortunately, I've never been scammed so far, even though I receive a lot of junk mail every day. I hope your antivirus is working well 👌 Great job, my friend 👍🙋‍♂️

I treat everything I receive as a potential scam and use free security software never anything Windows of Google based. Sad we all have to be so careful with technology that makes life so great.

Hope it all works out and you get some peace of mind soon :)

Man, this sucks. I hope you get everything corrected soon. and just so you know, Trish will help you any way she can. if she finds those hackers, I feel sorry for them. Have a good one.

Take care Rod! Scammers would only get better and they have great resources handy. Scan your PC for both viruses and trojans as well. Safety comes from both good antiviruses, antitrojans but also from good habits.

Sorry to hear of your troubles; my heartfelt sympathies as I have been targeted too inthe past. As these crooks get more sophisticated its an ever more difficult thing to keep on top of.

Hugs

Yeah, you need to treat pretty near everything as a potential source of theft. I never click on email links, and I avoid most apps for my phone. It's getting bad.

I wish you could send the girls after these mooches!

Awright, I'm skipping around because I haven't done more than 1 or 2 comments in a while. So if you get whiplash here, you'll know why...

(You know: You're exhausted and I'm leaving you 40 pages essays; and you're thinking: "Does this man ever say "nice job"??? I'll try to make these tolerable. I'll try...)

I remember this upload. I assume the problems are solved now...but I totally empathize with Hackers-ville, and the chaos it causes. No care for the madness they unleash. Hackers are SO good now, they' imitate every email you get---they KNOW the companies you work with, down to the logo, font, the types of order numbers they use and so on. They're really, really intimate these days.

But what's more important is that, with all the other stuff you've had to deal with, having some childish hacker play havoc with you is maddening. CC-number-thefts can take forever to cleanup (if that number is used in several places). Been there, done that. I hope it's all over now.

As for anti virus software, etc, I hope it does the job! One of these days---I think it's coming our way---you're gonna say you got a new anti-viral software, which fixed all your computers, your furniture, the neighbor's car, a squirrel 2 blocks down, and Jo---JO---not Jo's laptop, but JO---it scans you and Jo where you see her walking and suddenly she stops, her eyes light up, and TotalAV scans her cells, her mitochondria, her RNA and DNA, and a few stray chondroitins. (I Have no idea...don't ask me what those are...) When it's over, you find that she had 2 Trojan Horses, 5 worms, a spyware from 1970 (called "Deep Throat"), and a virus named "Bix". And that was just since breakfast! (Ba-da-boom.) Hell, from what I read, God, at creation, had to stop at Day 3 and scan the whole damned universe because several million stars were shorting-out due to a galactic phishing scheme. Not a terribly funny joke, but it makes my point...)

Your image is a gas---looks like a cyber dungeon with these strange metallic fixtures, and a lady I wouldn't wanna run into in a dark alley. Hope all's fixed, and sorry you had to deal with this. It must've been one of those "this too????" moments. I'm really sorry.

"This too" Moments..... Oh the stories I could tell... I have about 25 or so boxes full of them, and they take up sooooo much space. I tried taking them to the recycling center, but all the gates were locked, and they had 6 or 7 of those really big forklifts cleaning up after the last load I dropped off there. 😆
