    Thanks for the heads up, he added me trying to exchange with me, I am desperate but not that desperate. You saved me $15 :)

    Good luck getting the account back, cant you use the secret question or secondary email options

    Only thing I am wondering is how he got your password, did you get a virus, keylogger, if so watch out for your other accs...

    nestel no offense but what is the chance that you would deal with the hacker in mention, I would consider your post spam ;)

    people doing things like that are the reason I only do business with DP members that actually contact me via PM first...just an extra precautionary measure.

    Messengers open up so many chances for scams...
