Someone from Mumsnet who had added me to their msn sent me a file through msn this morning. As I have recieved photos from them before I trusted it and opened it. It has completely wiped my hard drive and wrecked my computer. DP relies on the net at home to help with his work so I had to try to fix it. It's just cost me every penny I had saved for his 40th birthday on Saturday, and it's still not fixed.
If you sent this to me on purpose I hope you are happy. Thanks a lot.

Day 0 - receive chq
Day 1 - Chq at clearing house, sorted et5c
Day 2 - arrives at drawing bank who make decision to pay or return.
Day 3 - if returned, SHOULD arrive back at Bank where paid in (no postal delays etc). Now treated as cleared funds, but if late returned, stuck in post etc can come back up to 7 days late!

I just read this thread for the first time. You guys are all so nice! I wish I could help you out too ZC, but I don't think it would reach you in time!

Thanks for the MSN warning too. I just installed MSN messenger 2 days ago, so I will be extra careful.

morning.

secur, just hotmailed you as I can't transfer via phone and am unable to get out today to physically do it.

a) either need an address to post cash first class
b) need someone's bank details to transfer cash to if they're going to manage to get to an Abbey.
