To the kind bros that up me, thanks for the validation. Very much appreciated indeed.
However, I need to add that it was never my intention to try to recover the zapped points. As you can see I've made myself quite impervious to it. My intentions are to be honest and open with what I know so that perhaps we may better recognize scams, and make better decisions and judgements.
Thanks again though. Fxxx hard, be happy!
