On 6/28/19, I received a call from 'henry Parison', and told there were efforts to change my pass word from Russia, on yahoo account. I was requested to go to yahoo, and delete any Russian other messages. Henry said there should be the scan and said do a 'r+microsoft button on the keyboard, type netstat cmd, then other letters. The commands were not executed for any actual changes. No money up front, was requested and I missed out on what I never heard him say. 'yahoo' cares about Russian hacking.
