oh dear how frightening and a worry for you.
I hope that things get sorted out for you soon and I hope they catch the scumbags.

Oh bertboy, what a horror. I steadfastly refuse to do anything financial on tinterweb, much to The Husband's disgust, but I reckon it's the only way to avoid problems. I hope you can get things sorted, and the money back. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Wow sorry to hear you have had such an awful time and hope the fraud squad find out who did it and how they did it. More importantly I hope you manage to recover your losses.
Take care

My sons msn was hacked and his fb, but thanks to my wonderful clever brother he managed to get it back. We were worried that his bank account had been done too but luckily it hadn't. My bank account was hacked into last year, it was a bloody nightmare. Unfortunatly some of us have to use our card on the internet.
Sending you a ((((hug)))) and hope it gets sorted very soon.

I'm so sorry to read about this. These people well if ever caught need tougher prison sentences. But I bet they don't.
Very sorry for you though

Hi Bertyboy, I have had lots of problems too. On one laptop I have had Email messages saying something about friends on Windows live but I dont have an account. Everytime I try to come on AC I get sent to someone trying to sell me health goods Ihave refused to do anything financial on laptop because of this, although I have accounts on a couple of regular sites(Amazon etc).I dont do banking.I am ringing my bank account and credit cards every day to check for any transtactions (I keep a list of everything I spend on paper so I can check).
I hope it gets sorted soon but it is a lot of hard work and worry,

Thanks for the warning berty. It is horrid when things like that happen. I had an ebay account hacked into, when I looked, it said we were selling 50 inch plasma tv's for £2000 each :shock: :shock: :shock:All I was selling was a pottery jug. !!! Ebay were soon onto it and stopped it before the scammers sold the fictitious tv's and took the £2000.
Don't use MSN or Facebook, used to, but have had virus' from both of them.
Firefox is a 100 times safer to use, than internet explorer, which is wide open to hackers.
Hope things are sorted quickly. Will check my account and reassure myself that there is not a lot in anyway. :roll:XX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0 -
Oh Bertyboy
I am so sorry, but thank you for the warning, it does help to keep us on our toes.
This must be so worrying for you, I hope they get this sorted out for you very soon.
Please let us know how you get on.
Love

Really sorry this happened, Berty. It's done some good, though, it's reminded me I really should be more careful.
