Glad to hear this ordeal is over for you!
Whaat? You didn't take the call? Could have been some hot chick interested in meeting you!   I got a text earlier with a recovery code for my fb account. I'm sure that would mean the thief was trying to access my account again and couldn't. He/she probably didn't notice the phone number had been changed. When you try to get an access code by phone, fb shows the last two digits of the phone number it will be sent to. If it's email, they show the first and last digits (g*********p@gmail.com). The first couple of times I tried, I didn't notice the email wasn't me - so the code went to the thief - same with the phone. When I saw the last two digits weren't mine, I knew I couldn't get the code. I don't have FB, but that sounds like some of my email experiences. So much hacking- and related problems- could be avoided if website owners would choose some other form of I.D. for logging in rather than email addresses. |

Janice, that is an excellent idea, an easy and simple solution! You need to get a job with them. Lol.
I'm not on FB. Never have been. I'm a fan of chat rooms and hope they never go away.
I hope the problem is solved and doesn't come back. I'll never understand why people seem to enjoy annoying others just because they can.
We are a weird species.

They don't do it just because they can. They do it to steal. Suspicious activity on my PayPal account, my internet banking access got locked, accounts at businesses I deal with online were locked due to suspicious activity, my google accounts were locked. All of it was done to acquire as much vital information as possible in hopes of being able to use it to steal from me. It's not for grins. It's for money. I feel very lucky to have come through it unscathed. The only thing it cost me was I upgraded my antivirus. |
