Couldn't give you better advice. Done well. Unfortunately some people still get sucked in. That's why it is still circulating after many years like the Nigerian scam. Regards, Graga

Most of the posts have a happy ending with no money taken. Was rather shocked to read your post about the $2K lost. At a loss to see why it's still happening as this scam is quite old now. Take care, Graga

The "blue band" is the header band on the PayPal website pages when you log in. BTW the best thing to do is ignore the scammers entirely. They never got a cent out of me!

I may have worded my answer wrong. By "these are the same people " I didn't mean Telstra. I meant the scammers. I do let Telstra in as noted previously.

Hi Barb2525, The only people I let into my computer is Telstra (server) and only when I have rung them! They are the same people ringing to tell you there is something wrong with your Windows computer and they need to get in to fix it. My answer to them is that I use a Apple computer to which they immediately hang up. Good that you got sorted. Henk (Graga48)
