Email From Somebody Claiming to Be Me
On 12/27/2011 9:57 PM, CatNipped wrote:
I was just informed by another poster here that someone, using my name but with a return email that bounced, sent them an email begging for money to supposedly pay for a vet fee. I'm would have hoped that those who have known me well here for years now knows that I have NEVER asked for money for ANY reason - even when I was faced with a sick cat and no money in the bank (we sold some electronics on e-Bay to pay for that bill). This has me EXTREMELY upset, not only that someone is ruining my good name and reputation, but that anyone here would believe that I would send such an email in the first place - especially when a reply to that email address bounced. I have to say that my feelings are really, really hurt. If you ever receive such an email, please let me know and send me the email address it was sent from because if I EVER find out who is doing this I will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Again, I would hope you all KNOW that I would NEVER, EVER ask for money from any of my friends, no matter what the reason. Here are the people she scooped up from here (I think she got us all here at one time or another and I'll tell you why below: madiganlesley (at) xxxxx (dot) xxx; tina (at) xxxxxxxx (dot) xxxxxxx (dot) xx (dot) xx; seanpenney89 (at) xxxxx (dot) xxx wwgssanctuary (at) xxxxx (at) xxx I x'd out parts of them to keep them anonymous for those who don't want them know here, but I'm hoping you'll recognize your user name and be on the alert for this scam. The scammer made 2 mistakes. First she signed the emails "Hugged, CatNipped" - I only use "CatNipped" online, in email I use "Hugged, and then my name. This makes me think she got this info from either here or the few times I've mentioned CatNipped on FaceBook - and we all know FaceBooks wonderful security protocols! Second she used an email address that was very close to mine so people would recognize it but left out one dot so it wasn't valid: lt (dot) crews (at) comcast (dot) net instead of my correct one l (dot) t (dot) crews (at) comcast (dot) net. Ben found the woman who is a very well known scammer who lives in Germany so, unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll get the chance to prosecute. But if nothing else, PLEASE let this be a warning to you... if you ever get an email from a friend, especially one asking for money, that is out-of-character or just doesn't "feel" right - LET THAT PERSON KNOW that his/her email is being abused so he/she can alert other possible victims that they might get email from a compromised identity. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

The email directing this person to this site was signed "CatNipped" but it most CERTAINLY was not me! -- Hugs, CatNipped You could go to the Kapipal website and lodge a complaint. Regardless of who sent the spam out, "Kati" is likely responsible as she is the one who benefits. It's bad enough she's playing on emotions for what's probably a scam, but faking emails is way over the line.

Hey, can you email me at my regular account? I believe I know what happened with this (and how you can avoid it in future).

Of course I did, because I thought it was from *you* You're making yourself out to be the injured party here and *you*are "willing to forget it" !! That I replied to a begging e-mail that appeared to be from you and said don't do it and pointed out that said female needed to make sure her cats were catered for. Sheesh. I seem to be the bad one here now. |
