Can someone help. I was watching a minecraft vid on you tube when a weird message popped up and said I was accessing illegal content. It says I have to pay £100 by giving my bank account details or I can't get back on my computer(I'm sending this via iPod). So when ever I log on that pops up and covers the whole page and has no exit button can someone tell me how to get this off. Thank you

@KripDrip have you ever actually bought anything online or did you just pull that little fake-toid out your ass?

I regularly buy online, I also shop at retailers and though there are a few exceptions, virtually EVERYTHING is cheaper online, even with shipping. Even better, you don't have to travel all over town to find stuff, you just order it and it comes right to your door.

I just bought two 15 foot usb cables for $8 online including shipping. Try finding that deal at office depot or best buy!

nothing is cheaper online cause even if it was, you still have to pay for shipping and that destroys any saving. Its better off getting it from the store ..

Can someone help me. I received a letter from a middleman company about some transfer for 386 dollars. When I called the company, they said that the payment was made by cash. I am only 14, so I dont have a credit card. I never posted my social security number nor do i even know my own social security number. So I guess my question is, will it pose a problem if someone only has my name address, and phoe number?

@jwallbanger A lot of people get hacked online as well.

Did you know that sony was hacked and possibly millions of users credit card at risk via identity theft? Also phishing is a problem and key loggers,.

In the past of course,there was also stealing credit cards via mugging or stealing from someone's wallet or purse.

@piromaniac9999 you know how most people get hacked? not by making internet purchases.

most people get hacked when they shop at a regular brick and mortar store like a supermarket or department store. know why? these stores use wireless systems with cheap, low-grade security code. hackers do "war driving" where they drive around with a powered antenna reading these signals and finding the most vulnerable ones. people never knew what hit them. nothing is safe anymore. nothing.

@jwallbanger i'm just kinda paranoid about the whole thing,

Mostly:its so easy to commit this kind of crime.

@piromaniac9999 You don't understand what I'm saying.

If it's that big of a worry for you, then get a separate bank account with a separate debit card for internet purchases. You only put enough money in to make your purchases. You can link Paypal to your special internet account too.

That way your main account is separate and therefore protected from hackers.
