Title: Devawnm367 account may have been compromised.

ETA:
Devawnm367 has responded, his account is fine.  Sorry for the false alarm, locking this thread!


I have strong reason to believe that Devawnm367 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1713155)'s account has been compromised.

What happened:
This morning I found a loan request (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132594.msg53973098#msg53973098) by Devawnm367 in my lending thread.  The unusual thing is he is using an address that he's never used before.  That alone is out of the ordinary.  The only time he's changed addresses on me before he was very careful to explain the reason for the change.  The address used for this request has never been used before and has never been posted on the forum.  Again, completely out of character for Devawnm367.

The request was signed, and the signature is verified (https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify?vrAddr=1JGGm6xVeXYu6bS6fiFwV5x61oawrBz1X6&vrMsg=Username%3A%20Devawnm367%0ALoan%20Amount%3A%20.015%0APurpose%3A%20Personal%0ACollateral%3A%20None%0ARepayment%20date%3A%2004-05-2020%20(April%205th%2C%202020)%0ARepayment%20Amount%3A%20.0165%0AFunding%20Address%3A%20%201JGGm6xVeXYu6bS6fiFwV5x61oawrBz1X6&vrSig=ICgE1pZf8Auo0mRTmxkcq01Bw1%2BKakW3VMiSYSuRF5KBZ11TdoHs7JEWZ8cCTeOUa1EQyLb%2FcrwaeX4IcmX1bLM%3D).  Once I found the request, and the odd address, I sent Devawnm367 a message using a third party messaging app that we normally use to communicate.  He hasn't responded to my message, yet he sent me a merit for my lending service thread since my message was sent.  WTF, over?  The merit indicates that he's been online, yet has not responded to the IM I sent him.

Devawnm367 is a great guy, he's not a scammer.  I hope this is just a misunderstanding, but I strongly suspect that his password may have been phished, and someone has hijacked his account.  If he contacts you offering a trade be very careful to confirm you are dealing with the real Devawnm367.

Once this issue is resolved, I will remove my negative rating, and lock this topic.
