Suspected Bogus Email purportedly from local Real Estate Agent

[admin]

WARNING

Since last night I have received four emails in my various accounts from local RE agent Terri Olvera. I believe her e-mail account has been hacked and the message is not actually from her.


Here is the message:

Subject: Hello

Terri speaks better English and it is American rather than British. But the message got my curiosity up a bit as Terri has listed my house. I clicked the link and stopped when I saw the following:
The use of the word "required" is a bit odd and why would Google want anyone to sign in using Yahoo etc.

Next screen looks pretty unprofessional:

If you receive the referenced e-mail I advise not following its instructions -or- do so at your own risk.

THANK YOU! You're right - I've been hacked. I'm working to remedy the situation this morning and will send out a letter to all those affected. I'm so sorry! Thank you for spreading the word! Hope things are well with you. Terri

Well done Sr. Admin.
Plus thanks Terri for your direct personal notice and apology. It happens to everyone these days.
Just read where some kid in Gaza,of all places, managed to hack directly into Mark Zuckerberg's super-secret private mailbox located in-house Facebook network! He asked for a job, however he was quickly reported to the local authorities!
