When will these people ever learn?

It’s not like this sort of scam isn’t reported and all over the media anymore.

This one though seems particularly stupid. So many red flags it’s beyond comprehension how anyone could fall for it so spectacularly, and expensively. Am I right to have little sympathy, or am I being a heartless, judgemental git?

Yes, I may have had security problems with my PC and programs surreptitiously being installed on it. But I’d never be so dumb as to send over £100k to some ‘engineer’ in Ukraine I’ve never even met before.

You cannot compare my security faux pas with her ridiculous level of stupidness. Besides which, mine didn’t cost me a penny, only made me wiser and gave all the know all’s on here a good laugh, hers may have ruined her life.

So I don’t feel burned at all thank you very much.
