So last Friday during the ASA event in Chicago someone called QBP claiming to be me… I was “in LA for a photoshoot, the airlines lost my bag, money, cell phone, and my grandmother died” so they wanted QBP to wire cash to some random name in LA through Western Union. SOMEHOW they got QBP to buy into it and they fricken sent money. I came back on Monday and everyone was like “Are you okay?? What happened??” I was clueless. First of all, why would I call my workplace for money?? lol no one called my parents, no one tried calling my cell phone, my brother was fricken working in IT at the time. lol seriously. Ask me a Q-Net or programming question hahh trying to figure everything out, then Todd Johnson mentioned hearing something about a similar situation that happened to Matt Coplon from Profile… Here’s the response I got from Matt: “When the dude called me, I believe he had a slight accent and he claimed to be “Ty Stuyvesant–a rider on our skateboard team.” I got the call and ended up hanging up on him. He was asking for the same deal–a wire transfer to the LA airport. What a scumbag.” I wonder if these have any ties to ASA? You wouldn’t think so but its something to think about if it happened to more than one person who were at the same event. QBP has call records of everything that happened. We’re digging into it…
