Attention Fan Club Members

If you received an email from me yesterday requesting wire transfer money I hope you realized it was a scam.

 

I STRONGLY suggest you confirm the security of your own email and other "social media" accounts. This includes checking that there is no auto-forwarding of messages to your email account that are being sent to an unknown address.

 

Any information that was stored in my 6+yrs of gmail archives is now "out there"

on the positive side though, fern, you can always do a fine trip report this month and get 50$ for your troubles

 

might want to ask for it in american dollars though?

TR: Getting Mugged on my trip to Wales

Date: March 7, 2011

 

I was in Wales and got mugged.

None of my lame facebook friends would wire me money!

You all suck.

 

Approach Notes:

Snuck up behind me in an alley.

[Hugh Conway]

were you really in Wales? Any mixed in Snowdonia?

Oddly I had 3x climber friends all get their email account hijacked this past weekend and sent the same damn email. A trend?

I got one of those 2 days ago. what a pain. they got my email and changed the pw. not having a second email, it was a tedious process to get it back

Hey 111, if there was any amount of personal info in your email archives I'd recommend filing a police report and setting up a credit alert (equifax, transunion etc.) to establish a formal paper trail in the event of future identity theft problems.
