I`ve Been Hacked

Postby jimbothescot » Tue Jun 17, 2014 9:56 am

Hi everyone,

I`ve been getting lots of texts and phone calls today from people telling me that I have sent them an e-mail asking for £2500 as I`m stuck in Turkey.

I`m safe and well in Scotland at the moment so please delete any mails you get from me asking for money.

It looks as though they have got into Facebook and started conversations as well and asked for money. I now cannot get into my Facebook as it keeps telling me wrong e-mail address !

Sorry for any nuisance I have caused anyone on my address book.

Regards

Jimbo

Didn't receive this particular email but have had others allegedly from people I know.
These are of course scams but the scammers don't have the intelligence to include bank details to send the money, so if someone did think it was a genuine plea for help from a friend there isn't anyway of sending them the money.
Cheers

I gave money to Jimbo some time ago and he delivered in London, Didcot and Birmingham.
:wave:
Money well spent and I'll be using him again in the future. Lovely chap!

Not only did he do a good job for me - I managed to flog him my last remaining filing cabinet, which was just as well, cos I needed the space for the boxes he brought :lol: :thumbup:

Wll my laptop was in a pc repair shop today and not only was my Yahoo account hacked, my settings had been changed to forward on all received mails to [email protected] which is not my address. All mails in my sent box have been deleted and my inbox mails have disappeared back to Oct 2013.

If anyone has mailed me recently please forward on any mails we had communicated with each other.

I have now changed all passwords on mails and also my internet banking.

My facebook account was hacked and changed password and it seems ip address for that was somewhere neard Maidenhead UK. Haven`t nanaged to get back into that yet.

Just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who texted me or called me today to make sure I was safe and well and actually to offer financial assistance if it was genuinely required. Thank you so much, very much appreciated.
