plug here they were suspicious because the the people that she was trying to give the money to were then trying to charge her like 360 australian so it was a scam on top of a scam oh my goodness anyway to be honest i didn't think too much of it i thought oh yeah i was a bit blasé about it because i've i've had this happen to me many many times and i think it's part of being you know a former six o'clock presenter right so um you know i've been

supposedly promoting uh you know laughable weight loss products or um or investment scams you know all of them it happens and and back in the day they were you know they're pretty they're pretty basic it was a photo of me holding a product which had clearly been superimposed and you know quite for me or something um

Then I had a call from the optomethologist who, so optomethology is like a real specialist part of optometry.

So these are people who look after cataracts and people that are going blind.

It's really, really highly skilled, highly trained work.

She contacted me, and she was also in this video.

So apparently, I talk about my failing eyesight, and that's the reason why I left the news, apparently, because I couldn't read the audio anymore.

And she helped me because she had invented this product.

They're kind of genius, right?

They also use lots of really personal information, like the fact that I'm 60.

They say, I've just turned 60 and my eyesight's been failing badly for the last few years and blah, blah, blah.

That's the AI can pull all the information and make it harder.

And I feel really bad that it was me that brought the TV company down.

I was like, what the hell?

And anyway, so she sent it through to me.

And again, I was still a little bit blasé.

She hadn't gone into all of that detail.

But as soon as I saw it, I thought, you are kidding me.

And I think we've got it now, haven't we?

We can see it.
