Mike - Since your TRF login has been compromised and you are still able to get in, I would suggest changing your pass word immediately.

Since your account login details appear to have been phished, the only thing to do is ban the account. You'll need to set up a new temporary account and contact Lol-x about getting reinstated.

Only way for another person to access your TRF account is if you either gave your login details to someone else willingly, or you were hacked, most likely by clicking a fraudulent link to a fake TRF wesite and then signing in. This in effect gave away your security!
Many threads on this! NEVER access the forum via links from people unknown, EVER. You will now be on a temporary ban until you can prove you are the real owner of the account.

Talked to Mike this morning. He has been in contact with Stephen and they are working on it.
He has not been banned.

Thanks to the MODs and all involved with getting this mess cleared up, and acting quickly, truly a community.

I thought I had sufficiently vetted the email, I was DEAD WRONG. lesson learned. Mike |
