ADBLOCK Warning
Hi Everyone,
I have been pestered by adverts & popups on my computer for ages. Decided to do something about it. Posted on one of the Australian Groups my question & it was suggested I clear my cache & cookies, which I did, this really speeded up the computer. Still the adds kept arriving. Searched & found ADBlock and looked at the page, and clicked on this company filled in details and clicked enter, I immediately knew this was a mistake and got out of there. Thought nothing more of it BUT when I shopped at Bunnings the next morning I could not use my Credit Card. Checked & still nothing out of my account. Rang my bank next morning & sure enough an attempt had been made to withdraw from my account. It is a real company but they do like to take as much money out of your account as they can. Fortunately for me my credit union is exceptionally good in stopping these attempts. I was fortunate but many are not. I contacted Trend & they have a free adblock on their account which my friend sorted for me. There are so many scams out there we all have to be careful. I have only lost one credit card until a new one arrives but it could have been more.
