Neil Clague - email SCAM

[BigTinBoat]

Guys - I just talked to Neil. Someone apparently hijacked his Comcast email account and is sending out emails to his address book looking for gift cards.

It's NOT NEIL!

Do NO reply, do not send $$$$$$$$

 YEP! I got one this morning, and thought it was strange. Reached out to him via GTA pm. Haven't heard back from him.

In the email, I was supposed to "respond by email"

I got it also, I hate scammers! I hope Neil can get things worked out with minimum heart ache. As for the scammers, may they all burn in hell!

So that $20 I sent is gone???? j/k

What happens if I answered the email? I thought it was weird getting an email from him saying he has a request!..I answered and said "what's the request". Then he asked me to grab a gift card? I knew it was a scam!I told him to f×#k off and stop trying to scam people. Is this person able to get anything from my email account?

If he knows what he's doing he can get a "general" location of where you are emailing him back from, but that's not the motive. The motive was to get you to send him the giftcards.
