Weiters scammed

[LP]

Tend to disagree, IT folk are less likely to get scammed because during the course of their job they run into trojans, virus issues, phishing emails as they sort out client problems and deal with this stuff everyday and are usually up to date with the latest scams and remote controlling software so they in turn have the right virus software and are more vigilant with their own personal equipment. A lot of it is common sense, you just dont click links or respond to stuff you are not sure about....check your bank accounts on another device, know how much you have in each account.

Weitering isnt your average IQ footballer as you say, he was a smart cookie at school and would be feeling highly embarrassed and I give him a lot of credit for making his problems public and trying to help other folk.

Lucky for him he has the means to earn that money back fairly quickly and can still look forward to a bright financial future...

Yep, experience is everything, most people who get done over like this it's on their very first exposure to this stuff.

It's too easy to say the victims should know better, not just for this type of crime but for any crime.

As for Weitering, it looks to me like we have the right type of people in the leadership group. Most would hide away in the corner cupboard not wanting to be embarrassed or to lose face. Instead he has stepped forward with a message to stop this happening to other people. Can you imagine all the self-righteous numpties he has been exposed to since going public with this?

More guts in his actions than most people and by some margin!
