Just from reading this post, I have enough info to scam your family member. If you didn't learn anything, keep your mouth shut when relaying personal info.
Ex. I find your IP address, your personnel info.
I call someone who would pay money for you, mommy or daddy whoever. I impersonate paul dingle gooucher from PayPal Protection services, I say we can get your money back blah blah, but there will be an adminstrative fee........
The risk is none, and even if they don't pay. There is always some one else to rip off.
You guys might want to check out Kevin Mitnicks book, The art of intrusion or something like that. It has 50 + scams for you. BUT BE WARNED ITS ALL ILLEGAL.
Any ways, sorry to hear you got ripped off <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
