The creep (alias Harvey Specter)...

got what he wanted at my expense.

Said crack fast talking

hacker and scammer

pulled figurative wool over my eyes

going incognito and speaking a clipped

English mien his disguise.

He appeared (rather sounded) genuine

after yours truly experienced computer snafu

(the Macbook Pro essentially hogtied

courtesy virus that disabled any activity)

even turning the laptop off then on

only wrought frustration to boot.

An out of state Apple computer

technical support person impersonator

(imposter invariably linkedin

to aforementioned fraudster -

most likely brother in arms)

answered telephone number

provided on the screen.

Admonitions against sharing details

about case in point, whereby cyberpunk

donned many hats to convince me

serious computer virus,

malware, trojan horse, et cetera

counterbalanced with voice on other end

affecting sedulousness to "listen carefully"

and carry forth the following commands.

Yours truly trustingly,

passively, meekly, et cetera

(though feeling jittery)

carried out the repeated instructions,

which charlatan inveighed against

speaking softly (in retrospect,

I ought to have carried a big stick),

indicating (as if held at gunpoint)

to headout off to the Trappe branch

of Citizens Banks and withdraw cash

all the while recording verbal dialogue

with small, medium at large criminal

(the scam artist(s) in question).

Upon retrieving legal tender

(quite a wad), thee next entrapment

entailed driving to closest ATM machine,

an MP gas station/convenience store

in Collegeville to convert

high denomination bills

(a considerable number

of money crisp Benjamins)

into bitcoin cryptocurrency

then hightailing back to where I live,

an assisted living facility

named Highland Manor.

Finally, the schmegegge script

(incorporating ejaculations that

questionable hacker convinced me

to swallow hook, line and sinker)

alluded to strong likelihood

scam artist lurked in close proximity

to above named banking institution,

which divine comedy bumbling

Ace of spades, an inept card shark

anagram name (Meg Found)

left as crypto clue told.
