cwilson13 user ID was hacked.

My user ID was hacked.

If you received any buy/sell private messages from cwilson13 in the last 24 hours, it was NOT me.

Admins are working on recovering my account.

Once I have regained full control of my account, I will update this thread.

Did you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled on your account?

Unfortunately, I did not.

This will be corrected once I regain full control.

The hacker reset my account and then enabled 2FA making it a lot harder on the admins to regain control.

You would enable 2FA from a full browser (like on your laptop or PC on TRF). You might also use a tablet - very hard on a phone.

The TapaTalk App doesn’t give one access to the full control panel where the 2FA feature can be set-up the way Steve has it implemented.

Lots of info here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=747721

No, unfortunately this can not be done on Tapatalk. It must be done using a browser.

Thank you Paul for the more in depth response above.

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear this happened. I hope no damage was done.

Be careful everyone!

Same exact thing just happened to me. Turns my stomach to think someone was using my good history here to try and steal money from others.

I'm finally back and now have 2FA setup as well.

My account (cwilson13) has been recovered and back under my control.

Thanks Admin.

Additionally, the buyers/sellers who were fraudulently contacted under my creds have been advised.

Mostly, the hacker/hackers contacted members looking to buy a specific reference.
