Never again!
Really? I am sorry to hear that.

I haven't had that problem, but thanks for the warning. I guess these things can happen, and they may depend on the particular circumstances, at the time. I have never had any issues. I have heard others that have experienced that have had no problems, apart from the time it took to sort it out.

However, I do deploy additional protections anyway. What can I say, maybe I am paranoid? Actually, when it comes to finances and security, I certainly am paranoid! But, the proof of that is, I have never been caught out..........yet.

But, in any transaction, there are always risks.
