Default Urgent warning from bill's auto works

Hello Everyone,

This is URGENT...My email that I have had for my business for 30+ years ([email protected]) has been HACKED & is being used to screw fellow car guys. I had a call from a gentleman just a few minutes ago asking me if I employed a Paul Mitchell with the phone number (770)731-8978 who was using my email address on USHIP. This gentleman booked a transport with him & is now out his money!

If you call that (770) number it routes you to a FAKE AOL recovery & restore number (which is how I originally scammed hacked)

PLEASE folks....I would NEVER have an accunt on USHIP, so that is NOT me & also PLEASE do NOT accept or respond to my [email protected] email address for a week or so. I cannot view it or respond to it. AOL Fraud Dept is supposedly working on it

I have some suspicions as to who is behind it, but no proof.

I HAVE MADE MY REPUTATION WITH HONESTY & INTEGRITY & THIS BREAKS MY HEART THAT SOMEONE IS SOILING MY NAME. I AM TRULY SORRY TO ANYONE WHO GETS INCLUDED IN THE SCAM!

EVERYONE is welcome to call if they have any questions! (216)832-8697

God Bless

Happens to the best of us no matter what “security” we try to use. Thanks for updating us.

Yup, wondered about a post disparaging you. You've been here for as long as I can remember and NEVER had bad comments posted. Good luck cleaning it up!

Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank everyone who sent P.M.'s, texts or phone calls supporting me during this time & offering advise to have a more secure email! !!! I am very capable of defending myself & my family in the Real World, but am clearly lacking in the internet world (which is FAR from real life) The issue has been resolved & I now have control of my business email again!!!!!

Thank you & God Bless
