I know someone that got scammed by the program Antivirus 2009. So you not the only one.Survey earnings total 2009 £417, 2010 £875, 2011 £5740

I wouldnt normally fall for something like this, but i only payed for the antivirus because it just wouldnt let me go on to any sites and the pop up was constantly popping up. It was $89 that they charged me for cover for 1 year - no wonder i couldn't find the icon on my desktop for the antivirus i downloaded!If dogs don't go to heaven, then I want to go where they go. :A0

you can call the bank now they will stop the card instantly. mist card fraud is done as soon as they get the number then they have a short time till it gets cancelled. longer you leave it the worse it could be for you.Survey earnings total 2009 £417, 2010 £875, 2011 £5740
