We lost our Tricare (retiree) because the bank shut down our account due to a threat. However, we were not able to make the requisite fee to Tricare on a timely manner.

Each US citizen has paid an invisible cost of 2455 USD for cybercrime in 2015. This figure is expected to double in the next 2 years.. Most of this money is funneled to East EU countries ( The post communistic block) ... And do not have hope that the local police in post communistic block would assist any international/US based enterprise against these criminals... They have a famous slogan... "As long as the bodies are not pilling they are off duty"!! One might call it a sense of DUTY!!!
