Good luck. Usually EA will give control back to the last credit card owner on the account. Try calling them.

If you can still access the accounts, log onto a friends computer, reset all your account information that has been changed. Make sure the email on the account is yours before you change your password.

Set a new password, something a bit longer. Include numbers, characters, and letters in alteration.

When that is set, go back to your computer and do a complete spyware scan/wipe. Also do a virus scan. Never know if you have a trojan or something to that effect. When you are sure your computer is clean, or mostly sure anyway. Reset ALL of your passwords for EVERYTHING you access online. Last thing you need is someone getting on your ICQ, the boards, or into your email accounts. Godspeed my friend, and let me know if I can do anything for you at all.

I am so sorry. Do what Jon said, and also, change your email address for your UO account to something only for that and tell no one the email address.

Starfire is working on it hard as well as Elvy, with luck he will be ok in the morning...we should start collection to replace any items that got taken.

So, the account is safely back in my hands, and I'm working my silver tongue to regain 70%+ of my items. We will know in approx. 30 mins if I am successful. Wish me luck ARPC.

So, the good news is, we talked to the guy, the account is back in Dav's hands, and all is well in the world.

The bad news is the guy is still around and trying his amazing goodness - 40. If you are partied by anyone, claiming to be your buddy/friend/aunt/lover/mother/father/sibling's pet's ghost, don't give out any account info Very Happy

.

The account is back, and that's what matters most. We'll take care of the rest over time. We just needed our Jack back.

Garrick Koetrig · Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:03 am Post subject:

Don't even party anyone that you do not know. Apparently there is a bug that when partied they can exploit the bug and see your account information. Technically it IS a class 3 felony. Too bad we don't have his IP.

Edit: To hell with Jack, Jon....I need Davaran back...lol
