Heather Poole

On Oct 29, 2021 my Twitter account @Heather_Poole was hacked by hacker, scammer @Xyzify @Xyzified @Xyzified @Ismmercury (same user) who was quick to change my password and email so I couldn’t log in to report it to Twitter. Before he blocked me, I noticed three months worth of tweets had been deleted.

His first tweet as me was “Hey Guys.” You can see the username @Xzyified next to my photo in the screenshot.

@Xyzified’s second tweet as me was an IOSHaven #TeamSeas Retweet. Can’t help but think that’s a clue.

On Oct 31 my username @Heather_Poole was moved to a different account that only has 1K followers. @Heather_Poole now belongs to a dude who looks nothing like me. 

My content (bio, tweets, photos, 89K followers) was sold to @damaskedcat for $150. At least that’s what @Damaskcat said when he sent me a private message to see if I wanted to buy it back for the same price. I don’t trust hackers so I told him to enjoy being me. 

The hacker who stole my content (bio, photos, tweets 89K followers) seemed to be obsessed with getting verified and believed my account could do that for him. I told him there’s a reason I’m not verified. I’m an author, not media/journalist/celebrity. He mentioned that I had a lot of verified followers. He said that’s all he needs to get my account – or maybe it’s his account – verified. I told him I tried to get verified twice and was rejected both times. He told me Twitter has changed its verification policy making it easier to get verified. I told him I didn’t need to be verified to get followers because my tweets aren’t boring like his. I told him I don’t have to rely on a blue check to get follows, nor do I have to HACK/STEAL accounts to use for likes and follows.

Notice how @Damaskedcat uses the same profile photo as @Xyzify. A clue.

Same account @xyzify tried to sell my 89K followers for $90 yesterday. A different but similar account @xyzifie found an interested buyer.

My account was hacked on Oct 29 and already my content (bio, photos, tweets, 89K followers) has had many different usernames. It went from @Heather_Poole to @XYZIFIED to @89KTwits to @GiveGG to @XgotU to @XlsCool69 and finally @Damaskedcat.

That’s how hackers get away with buying and selling STOLEN content. They constantly change usernames and/or flip hacked accounts to other gamers eager to purchase STOLEN PROPERTY because they’re desperate for likes & follows.

I’ve learned a lot about the sad pathetic lonely world of gamers over the last three days. They’re #XYZifylegit…pathetic.
