Scam warning

There is a person who has hacked a members account and apparently is phishing for email addresses using this email to get responses...jeffowus19@gmail.com saying he's in utah

You’re both vague in your posts.
Who is hacked (members name), and is the member PM’ing you, or emailing you?
(Given another thread I’ve found, I may know whom)

It’s hard to act on something without full disclosure...

I wasn't sure I should post the members name or not...but he contacted me to advise me he didn't send me any emails but has been contacted by over 100 other people.

Assuming this is who you refer to, the member has now been banned until he can provide verifying details.

If you suspect foul play, name the person immediately so admin can investigate and act quickly if needed.
The quicker we can shut this type of stuff down, the better.

The person named Mike with screen name datejustking is the member who was hacked by someone using the email jeffowus19@gmail.com. My intention was to expose the scam email address NOT the innocent member because I wasn't sure that would be proper. I suspected it was a scam and when I communicated with the innocent member I confirmed it and posted the scam email to warn others. Being new here, I did not want to be the cause of any further problems for the innocent member. Thank you.
