CheapFlights Daily Scam? $2000 withdrawal attempt

That sounds awful!  Hopefully you got it fixed.  Good job checking your accounts.  Most don't.

Thanks for the advice. I scrubbed my computer pretty good. I deleted everything in all of my browsers, updated my anti-virus software, cleaned out my temp folders, defragged, and even cleaned up the registry. Not all is related to this, it was about time I did all that stuff anyway  .

And yeah, I never really thought it was the CheapFlights offer since I never entered any bank info there so that didn't really make sense. I just found it odd that the withdrawals were airline related and only showed up after I started with the CheapFlights offers. I think the malware was just checking my activity online and attempted withdrawls related to sites that it thought I frequented so I probably wouldn't find the attempts suspicious. I don't travel though, so hell yeah it was suspicious haha.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and have had no problems since downloading it. It's free, it's the best security I've ever used (I've used many others before) & it doesn't slow your system down.

Thank you very much for the heads up...is this for the cheapflights survey that you did
I wonder if FC knows anything about this I am sure they do not want any of their members being scammed by partners surveys sites
I was just getting ready to do that offer because someone in the forum said they paid 25 cents...just changed my mind
Hope it all works out for you and very glad that you caught it in time before it became a hassle at your bank

I am glad you posted I am going to check both my acconts because I didn't give out any bank information and I can't afford for my accounts to be bouncing.  That is just wrong!  Since I don't have hardly any money they can't withdrawl anyting except a few bucks but it is still mine I may need that for co-pays on my meds.
