My dad terminally ill not long before he passed away got stung by a telstra scammer He thought his internet account had been hacked and the scammer got him to give remote access , put a keystroke logger on his computer or was just watching and of course when he checked his bank accounts to make sure everthing was alright inadvertantly gave up all his passwords , 4 k got taken overnight,I found all the stuff in the program files some was just sitting on the desktop . Spent on motels phone credits and racetracks from memory in the US. He wanted to keep his laptop but i suggested we bin it as all the stuff i found was dead easy who knows what else was in there
He was so embarressed he wasnt going to chase it up with his bank ,well not until i got in his ear , he chanced on his local branch manager in the bank a few days later and told him what happened , the com bank manager got it looked into and the money was back in his account the next day .
