Nearly conned.

OK. I am clearly a very silly woman. What has happened this week is entirely my fault and it’s only this morning that I’ve put all the pieces together to realise what happened.
I got contacted by a man called Michael. He was pleasant and we had a conversation. He suggested that we could chat more often if we were both on WhatsApp. I wasn’t on it but I thought I would give it a try.
Complicated instructions defeated me and I stopped. My new friend disappeared very quickly. I’ve read all the stuff this morning about confidence tricksters on line and realise rather belatedly that I was targeted. There is no harm done because my ineptitude was what saved me. I failed to join "What’s app." due to my own failure of nerve...I pulled out fairly quickly when I became suspicious of what was happening.
I haven’t heard from Michael since...he was clearly a con man. And I fell for it...some of it anyway. I’ve deleted "What’s app".......no harm done...I was not on long enough for any details to get through.
But the man Michael who urged me to join was obviously part of the con.
Frailty thy name is woman! Arghhh.
