Hello
To say I'm a noob is an understatement.
I need your help. My work at home computer is infected by the TeslaCrypt virus, and after trying everything I can think of I had decided to pay the bleeping ransom to get back all the work I have lost. Except that getting my hands on some bitcoins is not that easy, apparently.
Look, I just want to pay market value from paypal or my mastercard and buy 2.5 bitcoins. I had no idea it would be so difficult.
I signed up at localbitcoins.com because that is what was suggested by the hackers. But nobody there will sell me 2.5 bitcoins and they want a crazy amount more than market value for them. So instead of $550 it's going to cost more like $1000.
I can't afford that. I'm probably going to lose my job if I can't get these files back. It's months of work. I'm about to fall off the wagon here, I need help.
What is the safest way for me to buy some bitcoin, quickly, to satisfy the demands of this hacker?
Can I buy them anywhere that accepts credit cards and will that "address" work for ransom demander?
Please help me
Thanks
TB
First of all. There's no guarantee that you'll get your files decrypted even after paying..
