My told me about it...My email was hacked like this. My told me about it first thing one morning because both of our phones are linked to our emails so we caught it early. The benefit of this happening was I was able to intercept any replies, which I did to one email from my brother who is in the army and was in Iraq at the time, so he had no idea if I had been traveling. Anyway, I had some really important stuff saved on my email like bank and loan receipts but nothing was or has been tampered with or really even looked at as all the ones that were left unread were still unread. To get my email back I contacted hotmail service and they had me fill out a questionair with specifics pertaining to what was within my email, like name of folders I created, even titles of received mail. Anyway, took a day for them to email another account I provided that gave me a link to reset my password and get my email account back. I was so worried because I had just applied for several teaching positions and giving them my email. Just today I received an email from a contact I have,probably taken from my account, which if someone is hacked they should remind their friends to change their passwords because they become a new target list. So I replied and got the hacker in a conversation ending with a number he gave me for the hotel he was staying in. +447024094823 after that he stopped replying(I pretended to fall for the scam). I even offered to send my credit card info but he didn't bite. I didn't get anything when I googled the number, maybe someone else has a better chance. It would be great to catch these guys. All the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740587624929874800.post-14145906257817887482010-05-26T03:53:28.629-05:002010-05-26T03:53:28.629-05:00The Same Happened to My Friends
