We all like to think of ourselves as too smart to get scammed. People think of scamming as a little old grandmother believing a lawyer has contacted her from a Gmail account to tell her about an inheritance from a long-lost relative.
We don't think about the wolves in sheep's clothing. The wolves who befriend us, offer to helps us, tell us about their personal lives, and make us believe they are good people with our best interests in mind.
I am very sorry you have been hacked. This experience must have been very traumatizing. Thank-you for reaching out to others and making them aware.
Please do not lose trust in the world.
Thanks @bitkat
