Scammers and hacker are out there! I've always heard this and really never paid too much attention. Until yesterday, and did I find out! Someone hacked my gmail account and my phone started ringing! I'm a real estate agent so this was my business email. They sent out hundreds of emails in my name to people all over the country. My contacts and people I didn't even know. The only criteria for getting one was that sometime in the last 3-4 years they had participated in a real estate transaction. The email looked like a real estate document, a HUD and requested their email for confirmation. I received about 40 phone calls within 2 hours. Phone calls from as far away a Los Angeles! Changing my passwords didn't work. I had to delete my Google account.
As a real estate professional I had contracts and important information in my account. It has been a nightmare! Please, Please, don't give any information to someone you do not know, change your email passwords often, make passwords complicated. I finally learned, the hard way!
