I reclaimed one of these accounts for a customer of mine - literally 15 minutes ago.

The first scam email was Hey. Catching up. Follow up email was I'm in a bind tonight. Unexpected bad thing happened. Can you order this gift card and send it to my relative for me?

The initial phish was an bogus AOL email saying there's a system change coming up and the customer needs to log in and apply the change to their email account.

I have a Comcast email account that was hacked years ago. They even got my password from Comcast. (I have been given Comcast $200 monthly, and just figured they had decent security?)

I now have 2FA from Comcast, but I get hacking emails daily. I don't care about the emails. They keep me up to date on the latest scam.

This email is not attached to anything important besides my doctor.

Is there something a Russian hacker could do with my email address? I said Russian because they told me they were Russian. 15 years ago I responded to a friendship ad on CL, and that's how I got on the sucker list.
