super easy to rag on this woman -

but my own husband fell for one of these online scams in a bad moment. ended up buying a couple thousand dollars in gift cards, made a couple of bank transfers - finally i realized what was happening and literally hung up his phone. but it was insane - it was just insane. i couldn't believe it happened.

luckily it wasn't $50k - gd forbid! - but it was a couple thousand dollars. i am still really shaken up that he fell for this - and it did make me worry that any of us could be vulnerable to something like this if it's the right scam at the wrong moment.

all that said - i don't see how this person can be a financial advice journalist after this!

i do think she'll get a book deal worth more than $50k.[/quote]

Your husband never, ever did anything to hint that he was vulnerable to this? And wasn't being blackmailed for naughty behavior? [/quote]
