Beware of Possible Spoofed Phone Calls from "Hugh"

For those of you who follow the webmaze (read below), some of you have left voice messages for Hugh McIntyre (it allows you this option, message says he will call you back). One of my friends was recently given a call back from someone claiming to be this gentleman, and even logged the conversation in a transcript.

However, it now appears that these phone calls may be hoax. Someone from thetailsection.com talks about how someone from Michigan (586 area code) hacked into Hugh’s voicemail, and has been calling people on the phone list. Someone else even called him back through caller ID, and he answered in character, but there were a number of holes in his story which would be consistent with that of a hacker/hoaxer. Just be aware of this issue if you get a phone call back after leaving voicemail.
