Some absolute t^@t$ around, isn't there?

Hope you get it sorted.

Could be worth posting the contact ID of where you found this fella (twitter? Here?) in the tickets thread so others don't fall for it.

It was someone on GOT.

It was someone on GOT.

That's properly grim.

Hopefully mods get rid.

I was messaging this lad on WhatsApp about tickets. He posted a photo which I clicked on to see it. After that I can’t access messages on WhatsApp and got that email.

WhatsApp has been dead all morning.

Should be back on now

I hate Whats App. Refuse to use it.

Just a thought before you start chucking people under the bus, are you 100% sure they are both connected?

Don’t take this the wrong way, you don’t seem to be the most tech savvy person around, just saying. It’s a big leap to suggest just chatting to someone on WhatsApp has resulted in you getting a blag email from Apple scammers.

Agree. From what I've read it looks quite probable that the chat on Whatsapp had nothing to do with the email.

Sorry mate. Not naming names yet. You’re right about me not being tech savvy.

I’m airing with this one. Did you click on a link in the WhatsApp message or just the message itself? For a WhatsApp DM to contain embedded malware is quite rare.

In fact, it’d need some relatively expensive tools, which means a random person on GOT is very, very unlikely to be the target. It’s probably coincidence.

Report the email, delete it and I wouldn’t worry because unless you’ve provided bank details and whatnot you’re probably more than safe.

Also, unless you provided the person with your email I sincerely doubt it’s them.

I paid £60 for tickets a week ago. I clicked on a photo that he sent me. It wouldn’t download. Received the email a minute later. He tells me that Bournemouth tickets haven’t gone on sale yet.

To be fair, scammers are getting quite clever with the emails they send out these days.

I had a genuine email from my GP the other day asking me to update some personal details and I nearly binned it as a scam before realising it was actually genuine

It’s sold out, so he’s lying there. Was the image sent today as to be fair WhatsApp has had a major outage this morning, which would impact.
