Buick35 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I just got an e-mail from the buickregistry.com saying that the owners friend has a birthday and has liver cancer.He promised to buy him an Amazon gift card but was unable to because he's out of town and couldn't do it online and if I'd buy one and he would reimburse me.I called Paul Rickman and he said it's a scam.

Jolly_John Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Yes, Paul's email has been hacked. Talk about a fine Christmas gift for him. These hackers, where ever they live in the world, are truly scum (and that wasn't my first choice of a word).

Bloo Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This has become a common scam. If you get some email that sounds like this, asking for money or something, that is completely out of character for the person sending it, do not reply. Contact the person the email APPEARS to come from by some other means, such as telephone, text, forum PM, or social media if you do social media. Ask the person if it is real (it won't be). The person who has had their email compromised will probably need to do damage control, and the sooner they find out about it the better. This will not be the last time you see this particular scam.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 And unless there are a LOT of gullible folks, someone able to do what they do could probably make more being honest! Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
