Today, my husband fell for an online scam leaving us 1450.00 in the negative. We get paid tomorrow and most of our money is going to cover that debt. FML

I think that you shouldn't let your husband anywhere near a computer anymore.

YDI they try to scam me all the time but I never send money to bogus people or websites.

Surprise surprise, most people are computer retarded. They're only using it to email their friends and look at sears.com, etc. So when they see a "you've won a prize" thing they go "ooh it must be like when you're the X customer, this is great!" Or if they get an email from someone they don't know they'll just open and read it figuring that either their friend got a new email address or someone they know found theirs. As another example, the most clicked button on alert boxes is "cancel". No matter what it says they'll just hit cancel to get it to go away, without even reading it. Even if it says "we've found a virus", or "please update your computer" it immediately gets canceled. That's partly why being tech savvy and being in the industry and dealing with those types of people is so damn frustrating. They often think of it as some magic box that can do whatever they want it to and are shocked when it can't. That and they generally don't take the time to read or figure out what they're doing and expect it to "just work". *looks up* I think I took a wrong turn and went into rant mode. *shrug* My original point is probably lost somewhere in the beginning bit.

LOL if my I wasn't getting on top of what my gf does everytime, this is the exact situation we would have. Anyways, sucks for you OP I hope it's only a small dent in your wallet. Make sure you get a GOOD spyware and anti-virus as well, because you never know if this the only thing that your husband has been clicking on.

YDI for blaming your husband. stop whining.

If you divorce him now, you'll cut the debt in half, and you'll rid yourself of a fiscally retarded husband!
