My account was hacked.

Hi Everyone,

Some ignorant human being is telling other users on the forum that I’m interested in there watches that they are selling. I’ve received Over 100 emails about people waiting for me to respond to them. Please expose this person to the best of your ability. His email seems to be @Jeffowus19@gmail.com.

This is very annoying and he is still emailing people that he wants watches on my account. He is located in Utah.

If he is not stopped someone will be next in his little game.

Thank you for the heads up on this, but calling someone retarded makes you sound ignorant. Calling someone “retarded” and “ignorant” in the same line, ironically makes you sound stupid.

I know you’re agitated (rightfully) and dealing with a low-life, but still no excuse for speaking like that.

Someone is using your name, or your actual account and PM’ing other members from it?

There are literally over 100 of these emails to random people.

It is very bothersome.

Then your account is now going to be closed.
You’ve obviously signed in recently on a fake site by clicking on a disguised link. This giving access to someone other than yourself!

You’ll now have to email Lol-x with your correct and original contact information to prove who you are, in order to have your account reinstated.

Pm not email, sorry for that

It seems he’s using the pm to fish the email details, accounts and so on

He used my ad but on it the email is stated, so why he didn’t email me directly?

Best

When you post your e-mail in your ad you're opening up yourself for all kinds of problems.
