PeterT Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi All, I've just received a request for a loan from a C.net member. Suspect that the member's mail account has been hacked. Peter T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Stuck somewhere after being robbed I suppose? That one has been doing the rounds for years. It's a virus that highjacks addressbooks. I got several from Irish pipers some years ago and similar messages get flagged on the Mudcat forums with some regularity. [edited to add] Just received the message myself. Edited July 3, 2013 by Peter Laban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidesqueeze Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 LOL!! My wife was victimized by this a couple of years ago. I didn't get the request, but her friends were told that she was stranded in Scotland after a robbery. One sweet lady sent a thousand dollars to a PO box there (without contacting me first). I heard about it from a long list of our friends who were asking if it was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
