I would say he should put it here in this thread, thereby it would have a greater chance to be stopped.

Back to serious comment.

I think we all have during our life on the web, have made smaller or bigger mistake. We learn from it.

That scam is all over the internet using different household names/celebeities.

One of the worst offenders for such advertising is actually msn.com

Most importantly, you got out in time

This is where my rat-like paranoia saves me. I don't trust no body, especially on the Internets Tubes.


Glad you were able to get out with no losses.

Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Thanks everybody for all your concerns and comments, like I said in my first post I'm usually more aware of stuff like this but this time I fell for it.

Anyway moving on I got an email from my bank telling me they are sending me another card but... It is a more advanced card with lots of new features, I can turn things on and off with this card by going online and either activating or de-activating certain features.

So now I have to be computer savvy lol, the thing is they didn't ask me if I wanted this new card style they are just sending me one.
Suppose I shouldn't complain, after all they were helpful when I phoned about my problem.

Got them on Facebook all of time too a few years back.

A Dutch celebrity John de Mol jr. (media-entrepreneur/television producer) went to court against Facebook demanding they take down those fake ads and won:

Which seems to have helped as I don't get them as much anymore.

Yeah, the crap used to be prevalent just about everywhere.
