Americans who live in the wealthiest country in the world are being targeted by those who want to steal anonymously and live in other countries around the world. Their sights are set on seniors who are most vulnerable because with age, with metal capacity starting to diminish, they construct events that seem legitimate.
I, unfortunately, became a facilitator for them when they hacked my computer and stole my emails of my family, friends and associates.
They are being aided and abetted by Facebook, Google and Microsoft who turn a blind eye to their role in helping facilitate the steal.
How? All three money making internet machines have aggressive marketing policies that allow this to happen.
FBI reported that in 2024 $16.6 billion dollars were sucked out of the pockets of Americans and primarily seniors because we do not have firewalls in place to prevent this from happening.
It happens when you access a website which you think is legitimate and it is a mirror image of the legitimate website and is actually a clone that has the capacity to fool you. The clue that is shown is the word “Sponsored” which is more often than not ignored. That is the solution devised by the internet money machines to absolve them from responsibility.
I had an issue with Microsoft in their aggressive marketing program placing an icon on my browser for Microsoft 365 CoPilot. Their intent was to convince me that I should sign up for copilot when I had no intention to do so. I clicked on the icon and it would not open and I thought it was a defect and I then went to www.microsoft to have it corrected.
I made a mistake and clicked on the top site that came up and did not realize it was a mirror image of the Microsoft legitimate website and I was sucked into communicating with a man from Aukland, New Zealand who was after my email addresses to find vulnerable friends who would send him money because he was pretending to be me.
Three of my friend thought what they read was legitimate and from me. They almost did it.
This happened because Google in their money making schemes sells top spot to anyone who will pay them for the privilege. THEY DO NOT CARE IF THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS.
They allow it to happen because they increase their profitability and don’t give a damn if they are crooks.
Facebook allows websites to produce attractive topical articles to be viewed and open and embedded in them are malicious malware that infects your computer. They do not vet the site for being legitimate.
I innocently click on a site with an interesting topic and suddenly a screen popped up that said by computer was infected and I had to respond to have it fixed. A scam that wanted my bank account number so they could empty it!
Going back to the current hack, this is the message that 200 of my email friends got.
Hackers email pretending to be me.
I hope you are well. I need to send an apple E gift card to a friend's grandson. It's his birthday today and I promised him this gift. Unfortunately, I tried ordering it online but my card was declined. I'm currently in the hospital with throat pain caused by laryngitis so it's a bit tricky for me to sort it all out. At the moment would you be able to help by ordering it online either via Amazon or apple or alternatively if there's a nearby store could you check there and have it sent to this e-mail, I'm looking to spend $200 I'll reimburse you as soon as I'm back home thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards Tom
Since they captured my email, any response was sent to the hacker and in this case was in Auckland, New Zealand. Microsoft showed me the exact location of the hacker, after the fact. If I had the power, I would have sent him a message via a missile, since his co-ordinates were known to Microsoft.
My friends that did not delete and block received subsequent emails in various forms.
In the meantime, Microsoft has blocked all emails into my account and I now have to after 25 years of having the same email recreate everything that was based on my email address and start over.
As I begin the process, and tell my friends what happened, I discover I am not alone and it has in my opinion happened to millions of Americans.
It is time for someone with the legal expertise to start a class action lawsuit against all three of our money making internet sites that have gone along with the Covid con and gas lite us. They are unprincipled and will do whatever it takes to be profitable and they don’t care how much stress and financial harm they cause.
What bothers me is that these billionaires have access to the Whitehouse. Not me or you. Our Congressman don’t care either! Time to fight! My rant for not only the day, but for the year because I am as angry as hell!
It is preventable!
Tell me what you think.
