YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
Do not be complacent any longer. No one is safe from anything.
I had the biggest wake up call yesterday morning.
My entire checking and savings account were wiped out because I responded to a fraudulent Paypal email.
I spent 3 hours yesterday fixing what took 2 minutes of my time to respond to.
I wasn't careful enough. I wasn't diligent enough in my efforts to detect a fraudulent email. I thought I was more savvy than that, and it turns out that I'm not.
I have been violated, I have been taken advantage of, and I feel defeated.
