Go to the police, cancel your accounts, email everyone in your accounts to let them know. Act quickly, its a nightmare, they can really screw you up. Alert your credit card providers, bank, etc too.

the guy who's doing it has decided to talk to me on msn, apparently going to give my account back in 24 hours.... not looking hopefull though... but it seemed he knew me, but wouldnt say why he was doing it.... and threatened my gf and dad if they talked... really have no idea whats going on

Your taking logs of the Convo's right? Somehow get him to send you an e-mail... quickly create another hotmail account or something... ask him to e-mail you there with whatever he wants, demands etc. ....then you'll have his IP
Has he done anything with your info yet?

i have a email from him already... thing is he hasnt asked for nething and said il have my accounts back in 24 hrs..... but i duno if hes telling the truth or not, he also changed my account sign in info etc.... I have no idea if hes been playing with my data

Not sure If I should be saying this here.... but my cousins account got hacked aswell... he e-mailed Hotmail who i think said they'd take care of it. But it wasn't instant... so I found a guy online who hacked the account back and reset the passwords for me, was a US guy and cost about $100. A Quick google search should bring up more info.

as everyone said, report it all as fast as possible.
I lost my wallet once, getting all my cards back was a pain.

ok, well now I am really pised off, I don't think this is some random attack on me, I now have reason the believe the person who is doing this is from esato, or regually reads these posts. Great I feel like shit as I have been back stabbed, by someone on here.... Apparently my accounts will be back in 24 hours and no harm done.... I don't know to believe that or not, but the point is some one did this on purpose and probally even reads this post....
So please return my accounts to me, and I would love to know why you did this to me as to my knoledge I have not pissed off anyone on here enough to achaully attack me and my business.
Thanks Luke

what exactly made you think its someone from esato?
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
well the person decided to talk to my girlfriend last night, and one thing they said would only be known to esatoarians who read this thread.... before it was edited

It wasn't me!
Prevention is better then cure. God forbid something like this happens to me...I'll be screwed.
I change my passwords monthly, whether it be the name of the new gf or a title of a song...there's no way that anyone's hacking my accounts.
Luke, may the Force me with you and to whoever hacked your account may he feel the sting of a 1000 jellyfish on his testicles.

dont hang around waiting for him to give you your account back. go straight to the police. you have no idea what he is doing with your info, money, or what ever this person has got their hands on. They are probs only saying they will give it back to buy them enough time for them to do whatever it is they want to do.
Go straight to the police they will take you seriously and do have the means to sort this out. Identity theft can litteraly ruin your life and take years to sort out if it is bad enough. So I would inform the police immediately. If nothing else at least it will be on record that you told the police if you ever have to try and reclaim lost money or whatever from banks and other businesses.

I see your point, but I honnestly cannot see any motivation behind it, I dont have any bank details, passwords etc storred in either account and the way they talked to me was as if they knew me....I think its just someone tying to piss me off, or warn me, I don't really know....
can I trace a email bank to its sent from location?

what happened with this?
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
ok, yesterday morning I got answers from hotmail, and as a result got my hotmail account, from that managed to get my gmail abck less then 10 min later. I then changed all passwords, security questions and links to other emails. The bastard was on my msn chatting to my family and friends, I achaully talked to one of the people involved in the hacking of my accounts, he was some stuck up prick from europe I believe, thought he was mighty clever.... I believe they got my details throught my girlfriends laptop which I am lending (its a windows one) I thought it was secure,, but later found out she had only installed a trial version of mgaffe or whatever the hell its called. I will be instally more virus and spyware dectors on it soon, but right now am on my mac enjoying being able to achually trade properly

If I was you, I would try to get as much evidence I could and bring this up to the police, I wouldn't let them go like that, especially with the family talking on msn and the business email.
