Stu Barr is fighting email hackers

[Don Ferrette]

I received an odd email from Stu earlier that in all the years of doing business with him I'd never seen so I called to ask about it. It seems he is getting hammered by a rather agressive hacker who even targeted his accounts. If anyone receives an email from Stu saying "Stu Barr shared "Payment Details.pdf" with you" it is not legit and you should delete it. The email looks like any other I've gotten in the past from Stu in terms of page format and addressing, he's just never invoiced me this way which is why I placed the call to him.

I just got one and it looked rather odd so I thought that I'd check in here to see if anything was funny. It looks like a phishing scam but didn't go in to see what was going on.

It shows it coming from fisherjsf01 at AOL.

Don, do you have Stu's number? I can get it if you need it. It's on the RC Racing events site.

I just sent my copy to Stu.

Stu must have a huge e-mail list!

I posted a warning on a few of the Facebook groups and got replies from guys on The Dock.

It's so easy to click on the wrong thing on the Internet and the next thing you know, you've been hacked.

I see that some of those that got the e-mail's are on AOL, the same as the hacker. Stu will have to report him to AOL.
