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

WOW! Thanks for the warning. Sorry you got hacked. Seems like honesty and integrity are
infrequent virtues in these days of computer fraud. Our world has turned upside down.

Yep those crooks are out there. Some scumbag hacked my Facebook account and also got into my amazon account. Had to close both of them. The hack also stole my e-mail addresses and sent people phony e-mails.

My email and Instagram accounts were both hacked and I was never able to recover either one.

I had my e-mail hacked recently. I discovered this when I received some e-mils purportedly from myself. What was happening the scammer was sending out stuff to email addresses that they couldn't get to so they were "bouncing" back to me. This is called "spoofing" in cyber talk. I covered my arse (ass) and notified my e-mail provider and then reset my password and security settings. The odd one bounced back for a day or so then stopped completely. So try doing a password reset and change you security settings.

You can find the 770 phone number published on https://clustrmaps.com/persons/
But that person may have been spoofed as well.

PM me if you need help...

My bank account was hacked a few years back, I went to get money and my balance was zero, they had closed my account and transferred my money to some guy named abdul. I had to threaten legal action to get them to do the right thing. Fortunately, they got my money back and fired the teller who approved it. Good Luck, Bill. I too worked very hard to build a good reputation and luckily have kept it to this day. tom

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
