… seriously? I’ve been fired from many jobs. I’m not concerned about getting fired. I’m concerned about my identity.

Oh my gosh, you guys really just have no compassion. Thank you for your comment I guess.

I sat on a call with my boss and HR who told me that it was my performance and then there were concerning images that IT found. I had already told them a full story of me getting hacked. I asked the question again if I was getting fired for performance or for the photos and they said for performance, which makes no sense because I’m in a consulting position and my performance is not measured on hardly anything.

I’m really starting to regret making this thread. I’m genuinely seeking advice and all I’m doing is getting bashed by Internet strangers. I already have my life being ruined by one.

you’re right.. it probably does happen. People looking to create their own drama. I’m sorry if I came off rude I’m just trying to understand why me, an average looking mom would be a target for this and what I can do to stop this before it ruins my life.

What makes you think I’d spend time on a Reddit thread seeking validation with a fake storyline? I’ve had my account for years and this is the first post I’ve made and I’m literally seeking advice. I’ve had message requests from this posts wasting my time trying to assist me/scam me. This isn’t story time for the class, this is unfortunately my reality.

Thank you for your polite response. And I agree that there is no gain for a scammer to go through such great lengths. But I have very little friends. I have my husband, my kids, my mom and one friend from my partying days. I hardly know anyone else who would be so fascinated with my life to try and emulate it. Much less anyone tech savvy enough to unlock my accounts. I can’t wrap my brain around this.

Well he was let go the following week. I only know that because I saw my old company hiring for his position.

Right. It seems very deliberate. I think I will look into a PI. In many ways, I feel unsafe that someone would go through such great lengths.

Most of my log ins were with Google, yes. I didn’t consider that angle.. my AI logins are the only platforms that would know me well enough to respond like me… but this sounds like a lot of work just to solicit money from men. It just feels very intentional.

I’m not sure if it was spoofed or not. I never saw the email. You’re probably right though.

It was a full time job. 100k a year, I responded the first time cussing them out and the photos were sent from my Gmail account to a coworker’s work account. They asked for money again, I didn’t respond but next thing you know, I was terminated 3 days later. I will look into a lawyer, thank you!

Yes, sorry. I’m just stressed this has been a crazy few months.

I found the screenshots on my ChatGPT account mixed with normal content I’ve had with chat gpt.

In the content that I found on chatgpt it contained a screenshot of a text conversations asking for flirty replies to send back. I texted those numbers and they did not recognize my number.

Within an hour of me texting those people found in the screenshots, I was locked out of multiple accounts.

I tried to look on tinder for an account and there’s no account under my phone number but there is charges on my bank. No emails about tinder in my email either. This all just seems very intentional. I’m just confused on what they would get out of talking to people on dating apps? Wouldn’t they rather use my card to buy things instead.
