Well, the month of December began with a BANG for us. Our laptop suddenly started acting strange and then crashed. Yet, somehow.... Microsoft was sending us messages to call them. They asked for information; hubby gave them info (banking) and we were almost hacked out of $20K (one of our savings). It took two weeks to get it all back to normal which included many changes.
What angers me is how easily the bank almost agreed to the wire transfer... had my husband not called the bank. It was that close. As soon as the dust settles we intend to change banks. We both almost had a heart attack; I kid you not.
My husband knows better than to offer this info and I have yet to understand his actions. I wasn't aware of it happening until I got home from errands.
They got very close to acquiring our money but did not succeed. Needless to say, hubby has learned his lesson. I felt sorry for him during this trying time and couldn't sleep.
People (hackers) are desperate out there and will do anything for money. They should try getting a job.
