Dear all

If anyone gets in contact with you saying they have important information and not to reply to that message through HealthUnlocked but to email them directly please DO NOT do this but instead report it to me immediately.

Best Wishes

Does this mean some poor excuse of a scammer/hacker is trying to infect our computers/details?

[HarryB Administrator in reply to Alex100]

I don't think he is trying to infect computers but is trying to scam people out of money. He has the username 'snrmk' and says his name is 'Mark Thomas'. HealthUnlocked are aware of it and have deleted multiple accounts attributed to him.

HarryB,

This is when you have to be savvy with privacy details and exactly what you post. A man called on my sister about an alarm system, they had been in the area canvassing. She has MS and is quite gullible, he said he wife had MS too, very unlikely she said he was so nice, he was in the house for 3 hours, fortunately a neighbour called and got rid of him.

Another scam!

There are some very sophisticated scams and some formidable scammers out there. It is very scary stuff.

But how do we contact you if not by this site? Also, what does this person want?

[HarryB Administrator in reply to neta]

Hi Neta

It is fine to send me a private message on this site. This person asks you or send him a private email and then tries to get you to send him money. The team at HealthUnlocked are aware of it and have closed down multiple accounts associated with him.
