Just last week I got an email from someone asking me advice because this same thing happened to him. They wanted a payment in bitcoin otherwise would out all his activities.The thing is, I haven't used my p411 in years. I took a break from everything. So who knows. Maybe I'll get in contact with them, and see what's up. Thanks for your input. Very much appreciated. And I won't pay their fee. If it comes out, oh well.
I think P411 may have had a breach. I suggested that he contact P411 and explain his situation. Maybe they are aware. They usually post a notice if there is an issue. I went on and checked, when I was contacted, and there were no recent notices. I didn't know the person who inquired with me but I advised him not to pay anything. I wondered if it was a recently contacted provider from P411??? If not, they must have been hacked. Originally Posted by SweetNikki505

I don't have any real confidence in their answer. Felt like a PR statement to me. Anyways, I've noticed an increase of these problems from Twitter. So who knows what is really going on. But, just gonna say be safe out there.
I much prefer concrete facts to rumors. However, I do find this to potentially be important. If this is true, this would mean that it was going on prior to Gina leaving. It would also mean that the liklihood of it being a provider is slim. If it was only locals receiving this then it could be a bad apple for sure. Keep in mind, that unless you contact us with a PM, prescreening request, or booking request we cannot see your ID or profile at all. We simply do not have access to it.
Something is definitely going on and if this has been going on for a year then the breach (whatever it may be) is still accessible to the scammers since local clients are recently receiving the emails. Originally Posted by Brielle Devonshire

Leads me to believe an international influence because we would all domestically assume the funds should be US. Originally Posted by FangotosandThat was also brought up to me. I do not think that is the case, per se. Since bitcoin is not a traditional currency, I think they are merely doing the conversion for you. Such kind scammers, right? However, that does not mean that the scammers are not international.
