14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: recreate the logo and they've just googled the fond and

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: then copied the color.

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: But it just looked terrible. I got scammed last night.

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,879

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,200

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: Yilty? What did you do? Here? We go gather around everyone.

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: I was trying to try send a transaction on a blockchain,

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: and somewhere along the link of what I was.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: Doing, there's an alarm bell going off already.

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, blockchain, nothing wrong with blockchain, best tracking technology.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: There is so somewhere along the way of what I

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: was attempting to do, something intercepted what.

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: I was doing. Oh, I don't think so well.

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I think it must have been because I was just

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: following a prompt and clicking through and the next thing

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, the money hadn't arrived.

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: Do you reckon it may have been a scam the

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: whole time? Or do you reckon there was an interception?

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: Do you I think there was an interception?

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: You're right, I could have downloaded dodgy software when I

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: googled the software to download your right fits. Maybe I

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: downloaded the wrong software and therefore I was caught out

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: at that stage.

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: Don't try to come up with excuses. You got scammed

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: from the start. Yeah, but I don't know if it

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: was the program or a coin. No, it wasn't, it

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: was other money.

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: Cooped furious Tom, absolutely furious. How much it doesn't And

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: now I've got this is the extent I've gone to

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: try and find out what to do. I'm on Reddit,

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: started a Reddit profile. Anyone happened to anybody, And that's

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: the thing fits here. I am entering in these details,

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: going do you know what I ended up doing when

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I realized what had happened?

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: Oh, here's the other thing fits.

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: When it happened, all of a sudden, my camera came

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: on my computer, So I saw a green light. My

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: camera came on, and I went, oh my god, it's

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: taking a photo or getting some video because there are

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: so many other things that can be verified through face recognition.

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh you're gone.

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: So then I very quickly downloaded Norton antivirus.

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Did you have your shirt on at the time? Too late, mate,

58
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: too late. You can't reverse it.

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: But very quickly I put I put my hand over

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the camera because I didn't know how to turn the

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: camera off quickly. But I saw the grain light appear.

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: They've got it.

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: And then I downloaded nanty virus because that suggested that

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: there could be some malware on the Does anybody know

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: what that means?

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Malware? Yeah? What's that jet?

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a spy program, like they've put something

68
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: in your computer.

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: So now they can read everything because they can probably

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: if they've turned your camera on, there in everything. Now

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: it's also a range of target people from Melbourne.

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: I was just absolute panic. And I did you get

73
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,880
