Default I've been hacked

I received an e-mail from a friend today requesting that he review a new book that I (supposedly) wrote, a link was provided. Please note: I have not written any new book, and don't plan on doing so in the future. DO NOT OPEN ANY SUCH LINK!!!

How many books have you written and when did you write the last?

About a year ago I got an email from Jim also, but I knew Jim didn't send it, so I sent it to junk email.

Chief taught me to RELY HEAVILY, on my "GUT" feelings, he said, "90 % of the time, you'll be RIGHT"---There's a lot of past happenings, that generate those "FEELINGS".
The end result of most "scams" is just to make MONEY!

My daughter just got hacked except she started to receive all kinds of packages of stuff from ebay mostly. About $2000 worth on her credit card that is on file with ebay and amazon and probably others. I don't see how the hackers make money doing this? Jack

harryc, I've only written one book, back in 2013 with occasional small additions on later printings. It's about performance 4-bangers.

There was probably a screwup. The billing should’ve went to you, and the packages to them at a different address.

Thanks Jim -I have that one-- I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something as it seems like I saw someone mentioning your "new" book within the last few month.

I never would have thought one of those 400 pound hackers living in their mother's basement would bother with Model A guys
