Forewarned is forearmed.

Everyone should educate friends and family about these scammmers.

NEVER GIVE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW....
I hope you will forgive me for not clicking on a link in a message from someone I don't know. Perhaps there is a term that I can search for in YouTube the will find the same video.

I will second your comment: Never give access to your computer to someone you don't know!


EDIT: It seems you can use the search function on the youtube.com page to find the video. Search on VrKW58MS12g (from the link above)

EDIT 2: Cute and informative video. I sent it to my parents in the hope it will help them avoid this scam.
