Gmail account take over

by ducati996tom Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:31 pm

Someone hijacked my gmail account and sent out a scam money request to all of my contacts. I now log in on gmail and don't recognize any of the contacts in my address book. What's up? :?:

Jillian you there?

Hi Tom.

Since our conversation the other day, have you changed your password and checked your account settings? As far as I could tell from the mail I received, the scammer was using a ymail account but he did obviously hack your gmail account to get your contacts list so may still be in there. I've sent you a private message with more information for you.

Let us know how we can help.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
