A Bigfoot Scam?!!

riggy

Guest Writer

Note from City Hall: Riggy has brought forth news of a very important scam. Remember, no city worker will EVER ask for your password, nor will we talk with you over a chat program outside of Whyville. This absolutely includes Bigfoot Bill!

A person claming to be Bigfoot is sending around mail or email like this one... here is what happened to me:

AimAssistance05: Hello.
AimAssistance05: Have you ever been hacked?
AimAssistance05: From whyville.
AimAssistance05: Is your account... Riggy?
akljlaa: huh?
AimAssistance05: Hold on one moment please.

AimAssistance05: I am sorry, but we can not tell how we do it.
