    Can't dispute until posted, and the way the scam works is they get you on the phone as quickly as they can in order to continue to the scam. Obviously, in hindsight the correct way…

    I fell for this, and I have never fallen for a computer scam in my life, nor even had so much as a virus in the last two decades. However, it is very sophisticated. They somehow ma…
