Calling out to aadamo188 for verification

I received the below PM.

The email address is different from the one in your ads, plus the verbiage about "don't really use the forum PM" seems suspect.

On the other hand you are a pledge member actively selling so I'd think you'd be on your account regularly.





Was that you, or did someone take over your account?

The IWC listing is me, the PM to you regarding interest in your Yachtmaster is NOT me. I reached out to the admin to address this.

Sorry, I changed my password and reached out to the admin. Hopefully this ends. Is this the best way to handle this type of situation? Posting my listing in the Watch Out section makes my legitimate listing look suspect. You emailed me privately and I responded within 20 minutes by confirming the PM was not me, forwarding your email to the admin, asking for their help and changed my password. Frustrating...

Think it was, make as many people aware that your account had been hacked. It wasn’t just one person who received a suspect PM directly from your account so getting the word out like this seems to be far better than trying to brush it under the carpet
