Title: jetset220 account HACKED
Post by: Big Ray on May 07, 2013, 07:15:34 PM
That is not me, jetset220, posting messages about selling coins. My account was hacked today and someone is using it to rip off forum members. I only use escrow. I suggest you only use escrow.

The scammers are hacking accounts with a number of post and credibility and ripping off other users.

I cannot post outside of the newbie forum again. So, be warned. jetset220 is my hacked account and the scammer is using it to rip you off.

I did not even receive an email telling me that my email/password had been changed. This forum sucks.

How did your account get hacked? Are you using weak passwords? or opening phished email? Can't you pm John K about this?

More sites / programs need to use an authenticator as well as what you said.

We need 2 factor authentication.

And they should use escrow, it's not the forums responsibility to keep everyone safe.

It's not the forums responsibility, but implementing two-factor auth is relatively simple and will prevent so much drama and scam accusations stemming from hacked accounts
