Once again elkie is not writeing this because of the angry state he is in we have alot of people giving elkie help to get his acount back, thanks again.

When will people learn not to share/trade/sell their accounts. Obviously never. I hope he gets his account back though. But still, people gotta start to be a lot more careful.

if you read what was posted.... "through a fake email from goa" so it was more of a mistake rather than sharing/trading/selling ;)

GOA will never ask for any passwords, and it has been repeated several times.

Not beeing mean, just stating the obvious:

Does any company EVER request details of your account in any way? No.
If your stupid enough to send your details away you deserve to have your account taken away.

Hope you get your account back tho, still sucks!

Whats going on? have it become easyer to hack hotmail accounts or anything? every day now i hear about someones account getting scammed and hacked.. Its scary..

One thing is if they have shared accounts with some idiots and use "hotmail hack" as an excuse hoping to get account restored. But i wonder if people really are getting hacked and scammed via email?

Sorry for your loss mate, hope you get it restored!

only lowlife :wanker: 's would do this:(

You didnt happen to store your password in the same email account as the one you use for your msn? was it hotmail? was your secret question guessable?

or did you actually reply to his mail by giving your password ;o

klicking on password request links in a email is almost just as stupid as sharing/selling tho :)

i didnt click on the link do you know thats the funny thing? so you tell me how this happend im feeling positive now i know requiel hes good guy and i helped goa alot with fixing bugs showing them stuff that need to be fixed so hopefully they will believe my story i have friends with ss's of the guy on my acount we even have fraps of him, we also have ss the Me's of how many of the certain items i had are on their and if they went up atal in past 12 hours so lets say 2 pairs ml10 cloth pants on mes and 10 minutes later their are 4 pairs. As i said ive created new email adress which i will try hardest for goa to send emails to so can talk i also have my irl game box sets with me with all cd keys im prepared to go distance to get my items back and my acount back ive worked so hard and helped so many people i want it back and i will as i know for a fact and people who know me well know i would NEVER EVER trade or sell my acount ive always said that I would rather just delete my chars instead of tradeing em:) ty for listning ive took me anger out on boxing bag and i just want to get reply from requiel or any others gms i know so we can get talking and we can get the probs fixed.

People who have spoke to him saying that he says i sold it to him for £250 quid lol bullshit i would rather delete my chars than having an person i dont know playing them. Talking to peeps on msn hes already striped my chars so you know lets just hope i can get it back and goa can tell me the char name the items where given to.

Unlucky dude :(

Thing is tho, if you don;t use that email acc for your subs and hence password etc - how did he actually get hold of them? You sure you have never given anyone even a RL friend ya password?

If not run some spyware scans etc on ya pc - especially if you store your passwords anywhere on ya pc as well...

Good luck on getting your stuff back.

and thats how you know the dude who scammed you is talking horseshit. No one would pay £250 for a daoc account these days.

Hope you get it sorted mate

One of the things you can learn here is to use a different email for MSN. Preferably a hotmail account that you do not use at all. Never, ever give people your real email account.

If you must, get gmail account and let them mail there, so you can mail it home. Or something. Be paranoid.

Easy solution, don’t have your account in hotmail account or on the one you use for msn. Not hard is it? Been said hundreds of times before? Yes
