You certainly are. Not a lesson that we would wish on anyone, but in the end you will not only be smarter, but you will be wise too. Hang in there girl ... you're doing great.
Btw ... if it's not too inconvenient, you might want to consider changing your email address/password ... just in case. One of our members here got caught in a phishing thing by her scammer a little while back. Fortunately, the first person the scammer begged money from (in her name) was me. Funny thing too ... he said he was Izziever, needing money to take care of her aunt Mary --- who was also me (one of my baiting accounts). ... guess you can imagine how well that worked out for him.
She was fortunate. It could have been much worse and far more embarrassing for her if things had gone differently. It never hurts to take precautions.
"It is good to see what is beautiful, but you must also observe the ugly things ... you must be awake to everything ... you must be exposed to things which you don't quite understand, for the more you ponder over these matters which may be difficult for you, the greater will be your capacity to live richly." Krishnamurti.
