    That sounds scary BW. Glad you have been able to resolve it - hopefully.

    They still got your info, do you know if they have "invaded" anyone who was in your address book?

    I'M VERY SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE I KNOW THIS CAUSED EVERYONE.

    SINCE I CAN'T LOOK FOR MESSAGES, I HAVE TO CHECK BACK HERE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THIS WAY. SO ANYTHING ON MY INBOX IS INACCESSIBLE RIGHT NOW AND MAYBE FOREVER.

    BW I have used gmail for a number of years with no problem. No matter what you have to be soooo careful. Things look legit and then they aren't! I get so frustrated! AS you pointed out, there was no address to send money even if you wanted to...so what satisfaction do these idiots get out of it? Knowing that someone at the other end is tearing their hair out?
    If I remember correctly you paid to recover your password. If this is the case, I would put a watch on my bank account, credit card or check card that you used....that may be where they get their satisfaction, from your wallet.

    Best of luck! Sorry this had to happen to you.

    i've backtracked and i think i know how someone got in and i'm thestupid one. i think i received a very official-looking email asking to confirm my account. they changed my profile to lock me out. i'm 24 yrs old, i live in idaho i have a brand new secret question to which who knows the answer, and i have no idea how i got back in, unless the hot people did their job behind my back.
