    Never stop, Jim. I work at a computer shop and the amount of people that are getting scammed is sickening. I probably average 3 clients a day where I see the classic txt file with "John Henry's" firewall software. I've seen people who've gotten tens of thousands stolen, their scammers have their cell number and just bombard them all day with harassment and threats. You give me a glimmer of hope that we can put a stop to these pricks. Thanks, jimbo

    I use your vids as Security awareness training to some of my colleagues, I am a security professional and I have found your transparency inspiring with your recent scam. Fair play to you. Legend. A big thing about a security breach is transparency and your run down on how you got scammed should be a lesson to CISOS EVERYWHERE!
