    It's wierd, you don't have a high post count.
    Maybe it was someone with a username similar to yours

    Hi,

    I received an Email a few minutes ago with the following:

    Problem: I haven't been on DP Forums in two days. I'd like to ask an admin to please look into this.

    Thanks,
    Anmar

    You probably can't unless DP has some system in place to ban the ip address of the perp. Maybe change your password if that is possible.

    My password is very very very very hard and complex. I have been hacked too many times to risk a weak password.
