[mdtddd2007]

Hi everyone, here it is that was forward to my email today in the morning. This is the person who was acting as me: mdtddd2007. (For those that don't know what's going on. I haven't been able to log in since Monday night and got back on Friday. He was trying to sale my watches on my FS forum which I posted FS). I would have gotten in big trouble if things went through. Good thing I got my Log in reset and got into my account and warned those buyers.

His name is Phili Egwu from area code 909 which is in California.

Hi Randy,




Thanks for his information. I will forward to owner of Rolex forum.

As for price he gave you is way too low. And your in Malaysia FedX/Insured is expensive. I will ship Parcel Pro with FedEx as I just sold to gentleman in HK. I like to accept $4,000 U.S. Wire? Let me know what you think? Thank you.




Kind regards,

Mike

Wow glad you caught it! It really is ashame people resort to these types of tactics to make a quick buck. Makes you wonder! Even though I am sure that 99% of the sellers here are straight honest working people, it really still is easy to pull the wool over an innocent person that just wants to buy a nice watch and thinks who is dealing with is an honest person. The person even gave a phone number. How are you to know talking with a person if he is trying to scam you. Sad day in America!

You scammers go away! You are not welcome here and we do not want you here. Think about what you are doing. Would you want your mother, brother, sister to have this happen to them! I think not!

Aloha,
Tom

Good catch.

May I ask, how was your log in hacked?

I don't get it, they just guess your password?

It happens when people log on in public areas using Wifi. People steal passwords and hack into email accounts. I know people scan people's phones too so keeping blue tooth turned off is a good idea from what I hear. I don't know enough about it but do know I have been hacked before and was advised to change passwords every 60 to 90 days and have been doing so since.

Got it, that's probably why I can't log on to your account using "Forum Mod" as password?

I think my password was really easy. And I let my son plays with my mobile phone at mall linking to hot spot wi-fi. Maybe who knows? But now my password is really hard to remember even I have to look on paper

[kilyung]

Isn't this prosecutable under wire fraud? Glad you caught it, Mike!

[Hairdude1]

Glad things are back in order for you Good catch

Hi Mike, thanks. I think so. I even forward the email to Lol-x Steve the owner of Rolex forum site. He was very responsive and quickly to getting back to me and helping out. Thank you Steve 8). He said "But all I can do is ban IP's, its up to you to report it to the police or take such other steps that maybe open to you.Cheers"

I am an easy understanding and forgiving kind the guy. A family guy. I love my wife and 2 beautiful sons. I don't want any headache if you know what I mean. Life is better than that and our time is more valuable than to worry about those kind of people. We are better ourselves to love one another to make a better world in this life 8).

It really sucks having to always either change your passwords like Ken said every 60 to 90 days or make ones that you need to write down on a notepad because they are so darn hard to remember. Our IT head just today said that in just a few more years everyone will need to change their passwords on all sites every 60 to 90 days. That will really jam everyone up. Half of my passwords I cannot even remember what they are unless I look at them. underscore, star, back slash I mean forward slash, no I think it is a back slash with a comma! Help! Sheeshs this really is maddening trying to remember all the passwords for ever site we visit and have accounts. I just wish people would be honest and all of us honest folks would not have to deal with this mind boggling issue of passwords. After all I am getting older and the Alzheimer's is really setting in! hahahahahahaha

Quoting Sheldon Cooper : "1234 is not a secure password!"

Wonder how many use it

It sucks that this has happened to you but very glad you are back in control. I would encourage you to pursue the legal avenues with respect to this attempted fraud. Although it may be a hassle it's very important to everyone not to let someone get away with any kind of crime. Period.
