I got one too this morning. some people just dont have anything better to do I guess. Glad all is well Ralph
I was in a treestand two years ago and checked e-mail (I know). I had an e-mail from a friend who supposedly had his pocket picked in England. The note said he needed $400 to get home. I called my wife and told her to get ready to send the money.
After a few moments I began to have second thoughts and told her to wait. I called the friend and ....yep, this same kind of hacking of his computer had occurred.
Thnx we are fine I really hope no one falls for this
I deleted my e mail account as they stole all my contacts hope all they get is a hard time wish there was someway to prosecute them
Same thing happened to us yesterday with my nephew, except it was a phone call.
Glad to hear it. I thought something was up when I got the email.
I could place the name at first. Glad to hear all is well.
Take care, Randy Chamberlin
I received the email also. No worries Ralph. I have seen this before, and thought is was a scam. Glad all is well.
I had the same thing happen over the summer, got the email and replied to it and they even replied back. I looked at it a little closer and luckily I did because it was a scam!
Internet is a wonderous thing...it brought us Trad Gang!!! :)
But like anything good, it can be used for evil...and is.
Thanks to mods to help our "family" not get taken and become more savvy of these type scams!
So you mean you didn't receive the $1000 I sent to the Philippines so you could pay your hotel bill!
Lol thnx guys I appreciate the concern proof positive no one is immune unless you live in a box
I wrote you an email asking what kind of bow the first bow you got from me was. When I got no response I figured it was a scam. Sides I just could not see you standing there with tears in your eyes. It broked my little heart Bro. LOL.
God bless, Steve
Happened to me last year. Now I never keep a contact list.
