Deb from Action Vans email has been hacked | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 6,014 Likes: 1 Vanthropologist | OP Vanthropologist Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 6,014 Likes: 1 | Got an email titled "Emergency" from Deb's hotmail adress. Someone hacked into her Hotmail account. I just spoke with her and she confirmed she is home in Michigan and can't get into Hotmail.
The text of the email is: "Hello, I am really sorry to bother you with this email but i just want you to know what i am going through right now. I am sorry i didn't inform you about my traveling to London,England for a Seminar,i am presently in London but unfortunately for me i lost my wallet and other valuables in a taxi. I can easily access the internet for now but i do not have access to phone and i also cannot afford the pay phone simply because i do not have a dime on me at the moment. I want you to please assist me urgently with a loan of $1,500 to sort out my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I have tried the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively,i want you to know that i will pay you back as soon as i return,so kindly let me know if you can be of help so that i can send you the details you will use to send the money to me and i think the best way i can receive the money is via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER since i still have my passport with me. Deb. "
If ever you get something like this please call the sender asap to have them try and get back control of their account to reassure everyone that all is ok. I have asked her to get in touch with Hotmail to try and get control of her account again.

I did get in touch with hotmail and am waiting for their reply. I find it hard to believe that anyone whom receives an email such as that one would actually send money to the alleged hacker; but then again...... This pisses me off big time and I hope to regain my email account soon. Actually some of this is my own fault, I received an email that looked VERY legit yesterday asking me from the Windows Live Team to verify a few questions so that my email account would not be shut down. The questions asked were only my email address, password, what county/state I lived in. If it were to ask me more personal info as credit card or personal address, I would've thought something was fishy. Lesson learned. If this were a month ago and the perpetrator would've stated that I was stuck in California, maybe 'he/they' would've gotten a better response *LOL***

Go to this link in Hotmail if you haven't already. The sooner you get it resolved the better : What should I do if my account has been hacked? | | | Re: Deb from Action Vans email has been hacked | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 12,898 Vanner | Vanner Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 12,898 | You went to England Deb ????
