Hey Larry,
I need your help. There is a completely original 1909 touring for sale in Connecticut. I am traveling right now. Would you please do me a favor and buy it for me, and have it shipped to Los Angeles, and polish the brass for me. I will pay you back.
Your friend,

Re: ATTN Larry Smith, I think you got hacked
I got it too.
Told him to call me after I get home from work. Replied that he was traveling and couldn't communicate by cell. Got the need an iTunes card for my niece's birthday for $300.
I said to email me back with a complete description of "my vintage car, which you are very familiar with". I doubt I'll hear back from the scumbag.

Same here, "how are you doing, need a favor" message, but not from your email address, so your email contacts on your PC are compromised, and has been hacked.
Time to fix, install new anti-virus program.

Re: ATTN Larry Smith, I think you got hacked
If you want this scamer to be captured or blocked it needs to be reported. The scamer is using sbcglobal.net owned by AT&T so you can easily report it by .... simply forwarding the email to AT&T at abuse@att.net Never click on anything within the suspicious email
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: ATTN Larry Smith, I think you got hacked
Well I don't really even know what a itunes card is so I would be in a pickle to try to help him if it was a legit thing.Has Mr Smith responded to anyone in reference to this yet? His computer may be highjacked with ransom ware I heard about a while back.The hacker wants itbit coins or something to undo his hack or you don't git in your computer.
If you can't help em, don't hinder em'
