Oh SHI-
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
First of all what happened?
sounds like you didn't check the web address when you were asked to "re-enter" your password? Is this correct?
...
looool, am I the only one finding this amusing?

If they have already changed the email to something you don't know, you're screwed. Either use shady means to get it back from them (yeah right) or contact the particular sites. If they're willing to be helpful it shouldn't be hard for them to get it back, don't know if that's the case with those sites however.

Not if someone has access of your facebook profile and proceeds to make your main profile pic a giant penis.Joey S. wrote:

But I have freinds who do that kind of shit to each other if they leave myspace or facebook on their computer and walk away.
I contacted Yahoo! and Facebook with the information they need and told them what is going on.
In a sad attempt, I also contacted the guy who did it.
If Yahoo! can't get me my e-mail back (which is the most important part and seems the most likely for me since they have a form for this) then I'm calling the police. There's very valuable credit card information in there that I'd used and my mom had sent to me as well as a plethora of other things.
I don't really care about my facebook, I can always make a new one - It's my email I need.

Ohhh, yeah, you're fucked. You might want to consider changing the password on other sites where he now has your login, newegg and steam and stuff like that, but obviously it doesn't make too much of a difference apart from saving yourself some hassle later if he has your credit card information. Tell your mom now to be honest.Poseidon wrote:

edit: Police can't do shit as far as I know, you would probably be wasting your time. Cancel the card.
fuck it, just call the cops now if you have good enough proof of who did it.
I fucking would, honestly.Spearhead wrote:

I think this has taught me a valuable lesson.
1) Use a different password for EVERYTHING.
2) Make them VERY, VERY difficult.
3) Never trust secure information with your account
4) The internet sucks.
Ouch. Like Flamy said, call your mom and tell about this. I'd go change my cardnumber right away if that happened.Poseidon wrote:

Talked to my mom...she said we'll call the police in the morning if Yahoo! doesn't help. There's a LOT of valuable information in there.
