So this last Wednesday was a very frustrating experience and is going to have an effect for at least until this coming Wednesday. What happened was I fell for a scam via PayPal request for money. I received a payment request for a bitcoin purchase and rather than just cancelling the request, I called a number on the receipt and spent about 2 and a half hours being strung along by them. If not for a combination of a panic attack and my grandma overhearing my distress, I would've been completely screwed. After ending the call, I ran over to the bank and brought this potential fraud to their attention. Good news – none of my money was taken by them and we avoided further potential fraud by moving my money into new accounts. Bad news – I had to change my passwords on the majority of my online accounts and my bank won't let me access my accounts online without my computer being scrubbed. I did get an appointment for a scrubbing of my PC this Tuesday afternoon but it will basically mean I'll have to spend part of Tuesday evening and Wednesday setting up my computer again. I still have my iPad but yeah it sucks. Not a good start this 2023.
