Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know what tap-a-talk was either. I think I got someone asking about my stuff I posted. I'll have to double check.

best thing to do is to post it here right away so everyone can see it and report it to gbodyforum so they can kick them and maybe block them

I have scammers coming on to me with everything from sales promotions to notices that I have received refunds or rebates and all I have to do is click on the link leading to..............................................the rabbit hole of doom.

DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK!! i Don't, and I don't advise anyone else do it either. The more plausible or enticing it looks, the better that there is a 99.9 percentage chance or greater that it contains either a remote trojan, some kind of other malware or ransomware, or a phishing- .exe routine that is looking to harvest anything useful, names, private data or credit card numbers, and ship it out to the dark web for sale.

If you value your privacy and credit rating, record or save nothing of value to your phone or computer. If the software asks you if it can save your passwords, SELECT NO. For myself, mine are all written down on paper. It makes for bit of time lost and searching for the right pw but better that booting up the system only to find that some b*st*rd from North Korea or Iran has locked me out and is demanding a bitcoin ransom to let me have my system back. Borrowing from the Green Beanies, "Kill em all, the Devil knows his own."
