    Susan should have called her daughter. My daughters know that I vulnerable at my age and always ask me to call and verify things like this. But come on! She withdrew the money and took it to a strip mall to deposit into a bit coin machine?! Not one little red flag went up?!

    So sad. If only the internet would get canceled our lives would be some much more happier.

    We had this same thing. They were trying to get $15,000. They are still in our computers, once again.

    Ignorant people that don’t ask questions, names, phone numbers to call back, check directly with the bank.
    Or simply install a reputable Antivirus or pay (decent money), for a professional to watch after their system.

      Ignorant people like pepe here thinks EVERYONE knows EVERYTHING. I'm sure pepe's been ripped off on car repairs because he can't do a brake job.
