Old account hacked

[forkeeps101]

Hello All,

I wonder if anyone had and experience with their account being hacked? I am a member in good standing and had many posts and sales on the forum under a different user name. Unfortunately the account was hacked and posts were made under my account name unbeknownst to me. The Rolex Forum simply suspended the account and I have now lost all good faith from past posts and sales. I have not received a response from them. Help! is there anything I can do?

thanks!

Marc

Send a PM to forum admin Steve Lol-x explaining the problem. It’s up to him how this gets resolved.

We have to suspend a hacked account, no way around it. At some point in time you had to have logged into a site that was impersonating the real TRF. As stated above contact Lol-x.
When was your account hacked? You should have immediately contacted admin.

This account (forekeeps101) is almost 4 years old. If you had another that was hijacked then you contravened the rules by having more than 1 active account. The mods did well to ban that other account even if it wasn't hijacked.

Someone else could easily have lost thousands of dollars due to you allowing your account to be hacked/phished. As Tim said, you must have logged in to a fake TRF link with your password. Our duty is to protect members from scammers, not maintain your 'good faith'.

Not hacked, phished.

"Click this link and give us your password".

Those who do so aren't helping things.

Excellent point. Double trouble methinks.

I would add a couple of extra points to the discussion of hacked, phished, hijacked etc...

There are still people who set their password to the minimum length using only a simple word. This also causes accounts to be easily compromised.

Second point, there are a multitude of malware that can be installed to find userid/password lists, log keystrokes, and copy cookies, CC data, etc.
