Bayliss Hacked

2960, 12 Sep 2023

It appears as though Bill Bayliss' email (or text mail) account has been hacked\ and a lot of addresses have been harvested from his contacts list

 

If you receive an email purporting to be from Bill and resembling the following, DO NOT REPLY or RESPOND:

Subject: Re: Question!!
 

So happy to get your response, I am sorry for bothering you with this mail. I need to get Apple GIFT CARDS for my Niece. It's her birthday but I can't do this now because my knees are giving me problems as well. I am going up and down one step at a time. This method is neither graceful! nor fast!, and the stores around here are out of stock I tried purchasing online but unfortunately no luck with that. Can you get it from any store around you? I'll pay it back. Kindly let me know if you can handle this.  
 
Await your soonest response,
 
Thanks.
 
Bill Bayliss

All of us need to be aware of this sort of tactic.  Any time someone convincingly asks you to send them highly liquid items like gift cards of "play" cards, immediately go "shields up" and recognize that it is 95% probable that the request is illicit!
