My account hacked? Sending PMs?!

[Bearxj86]

I've been receiving a few messages back from other TRF members saying I messaged them in response to their ad.

This was NOT me. I have just changed my password - perhaps I got hacked? Very nefarious - they send the PMs and then delete anything in sent folder as well as responses. They also disabled my email notification when I get a PM. Thankfully I received an email notification from my TapAtalk app that tipped me off (it said I had a message but when I went to TRF inbox, nothing there!)

Anyway, please let me know if you see anymore PMs - I reset my account and according to Tapatalk, 2 people replied but my inbox was empty. I have contacted the 2 people warning them of what happened here.

Jin, your 'doppelganger' sent PM to me and then we discuss on whatsapp
He sent me video and put your nickname on it.
What a great work he had to cheat people

That's scary. The forums need 2FA for sellers.

Scary as well man.

For all users, if you somehow see your account has disabled PM notifications; something is up. Also make sure to change PW and use 2FA...

Very Scary. I posted in the "Wanting to Buy" section...looking for a Tudor Pelagos. This person contacted me so i did my due diligence and looked at the Who's Who and saw all the great feedback for Jin. I thought i was good. Zelle'd the guy $2500...money gone!

[Bearxj86]

Any other info you guys can share on the perps? The numbers or Zelle member info?

I have a feeling this is not isolated to me. Need to investigate...

[STL-16613]

Sure. Here is the email and cell they provided me:

Email - zexomic@gmail.com
Cell - 503-832-7292.

They even provided a name of the Zelle acount - Hasan Chowdury

Hasan Chowdury is a well known scammer here. There are multiple threads on him.
