    Hi,

    Well today i was just doing some work and the phone rang and my mum answered the phone and he said to her "what is your paypal password" then she gave it to me and he asked the same thing so i replyed who is this ... etc

    He never replyed so i dont know... Kind of worrying some random Chinese person having my phone number and information. He has hacked into my paypal before and has hacked into my msn address and a site of mine!

    I am quite worried so could anyone kind of help me to like to get a report or something to the police, but there is a block on. It was a 141 in front.

    Maybe you seriously need to consider rotating your passwords on important accounts, change them every month or so.

    I think you should update your passwords - use a combination of number, letter and symbols. But still, he could easily get your domain off a simple whois check.
