I received an email from my "client" telling me to TT USD51,140 to a US account.
He say he will be busy travelling and at that time I was in Shenzhen.
He also ask me to send him his latest statement after the transfer.
As he was travelling and I'm in China, he did not reply my what's app.
So I raised a TT from his trading account to the US account and send his balance statement to him.
After a while later "he" forwarded an email from the broker asking him to authorised the transaction.
He ask me for his Password and User ID and I send it to him.
About an hour later my client email and ask me what's all these TT!
I replied, didn't you ask for it?
He call me on phone immediately and told me WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED, I DID NOT SEND YOU THE EMAIL!!!!!
I panicked, we both called USA broker to stop the transaction.
Fortunately, we managed to stop it in time.
I was stupid enough to give the password and ID to him........there were more than a quarter million in that account! While writing now, I'm breaking into cold sweat.
Apparently, this guy broke into our emails and knew what's going on between us.
I didn't suspect anything and he can intercept all our mails and
use my client's email to communicate the way my client would with me.
Shortly after this incident, my instagram, twitter and other mails were compromised.
Once any of your email been compromise chances the rest will follow suite.
So, be warned! when you receive email asking for money from friend or relative, make sure you make the call first!
