My account was hacked

My account was hacked and the person who did it was selling watches under my user name. I have never sold a watch on this forum and if you were tricked into buying a watch from my account, please cancel it ASAP. I hope no one was taken advantage of. Thanks to Tim (Cop414) and Steve (Lolx) for getting this all sorted out and I apologize to anyone that may have been inconvenienced. I'm glad I was able to catch it relatively quick and have the moderators shut it down before it caused more damage. This forum means the world to me and I hope to continue to be part of this community for many years to come. There will always be bad apples, but we can't let them spoil the bunch. Stay safe everyone.

Sorry to hear this Mike.
How did you become aware of the 'hack'?

Glad you're sorted now?
