i cant belive it got hacked into again ;/ who do you think it is? and the person is pretty dumb for changing credit card info. i hope the police gets this person. and the GM i talked to told me that he would be able to get his account back if he provided previous info. but i guess that didnt work out when he called POL. i hope everything will come full circle and work out in the end.

ps youre here? o.O

because if/when theyre caught, they have revealed their real name. assuming they used their own credit card.

The point of changing the credit card info is that the password can't be reset anymore because of that, since the dumbasses at SE will say that you don't own ALL of the account information (missing the credit card) So yeah, it can be a bad move if one actually gets caught, but changing credit card is still basically the only way to steal an account, since if you don't change it the real owner can just get the bank to stop payments. Risky? Yes, but not dumb since there isn't really any other way to keep an account running after stealing it.

orz ;; Good luck to both of you, but I don't have high hopes for SE's customer service.

Thanks Vivi D: I don't have hopes about customer service either, even though I plan to keep on spamming them (some people on BG said they got lucky :o) But anyway hopefully police or committee for internet crimes can do something, there is people on BG that got the account back through the police it seems :O
