Bogus emails

[RoninPA]

To my ROCS friends, my email account was hacked this past weekend. I have fixed the problem but you might still get an email from "me" (rlutz730...). Be assured, I WILL NEVER email someone and ask for anything. I will not ask if you have an Amazon account, nor will I ever ask you for money, gift cards,etc. for anyone.

If you get one of these emails, delete it without ever replying. I have had some great friends and customers who have alerted me to this event and I have posted on facebook and other places to explain.

Thank you for understanding.

I did not reply and told you in a separate email about it. Thanks Ron for alerting everyone

I appreciate all the people who know me that know I wouldn't do something like that. A bit of background:

I noticed very quickly that I was getting next to no emails where I normally get upwards to 70 per day (mainly because of my business). Also, when I was in the hotel Friday night while at the East Coast Gathering (the Baymont in Forest City FYI), when I used the hotels wifi I noticed something odd and tried to back out and thought I did but it apparently was pretty well done and someone got my info. The next night I used my personal hotspot to log in and saw the lack of emails. Then when we got home Sunday evening it was the same, no emails. Also, had a lot of phone messages from my friends and customers saying they got a strange email from me and it didn't seem like it would be one that I would send out (asking about the Amazon acct, etc.) Monday morning I contacted Xfinity/Comcast and was on the phone for about 1 1/2 hours checking things out, changing passwords, etc. Then we found, deep in my Email Filters section (where you can set up filters to automatically delet spam, etc.) there was one again cleverly done and hard to see. The scammer was redirecting all my emails to a different account. That got deleted and within an hour I had 15 emails come through so I knew that got fixed.

However, later that day I found he copied ALL of my address book, that's where he got everyones email address, but he could not leave good enough alone. Now pardon my language, but the Rosie O’Donnell (I used a**hole (full spelling) on the other forum and they changed it for me (thank you I should have known better ) then deleted all of them from my account after he stole them so I don't have them anymore and will have to rebuild over time unless I can find some way to retrieve them if they are somewhere in Comcasts system. I'll probably have to get back in touch with Comcast to see if they can help me.

Everything seems to be back to suome what normal, but that person better hope I never find out who did it, they would not like what I would do to them and no one would ever find the body.

Thanks for the offer JD, if I find I need some advice, or help I'll take you up on your offer, much appreciated.

Ron I have some extra of those nice lead lollypops if you find the guy! I will bring enough so we can all enjoy the party. I will even loan one to JayDawg if he promises to behave...

Carl, I was going to say that you don't know how much I would like to meet up with this guy or even the group, but I think you know me well enough that you know that they would have h**l to pay if I found them. I have no earthly use for people like this. (Other than maybe to become fertilizer )
