could some high ranking member review this
Unfortunately not.A high ranking member that is a DT has already tagged his account red,that's the maximum they can do.You're expecting them to talk to the scammer and ask him to pay you your coins ? Doesn't work out like that in the free world.Hey I've good news,if he had bought the account,he probably lost around 0.20-0.30 bitcoins.Unfortunately,I think the account was hacked.Be smart and use an escrow.This is the 10000th time I've used the word escrow in the following section.

dude are you ok or what? you see anywhere ive asked them to get my btc back. all i wanted was a high ranking member to make the account red. now whether the story is true or not dont care my btc again. just got to be careful in future with accounts which have  changed passwords.

i think the account should be transferred to me now lol

sorry for your loss if your account got hacked

Yes my account got hacked and sorry that you lost some btc.  I made another post stating that the account was hacked and the mods moved it to meta.

Just another word of caution to everyone out there.  YOU CAN NOT TRUST THE RESULTS OF VIRUSTOTAL!

You should move this to meta.

Also it would be nice to know the wallet which was infected.
Not a link; just the name.

It was the Vermo wallet.  I couldn't get it to compile in a linux virtualbox so I scanned the windows wallet with virustotal.  It came back clean so like an idiot I ran it on my machine without using virtual box because I didn't have a windows instance already setup and I was lazy.  It was a stupid mistake that hopefully others won't make.  You can search in the altcoin announcement thread and see that the Vermo wallet was indeed a virus and that others were affected as well.

Fortunately I enable 2fa on all my accounts if it is available. Unfortunately BTC does not have 2fa capabilities.

My account was hacked.  I contracted a virus and afterwards I was unable to login to my account.  I sent a message to an administrator to see what what recourse I had to recover my account.  Here is the response I received
Why do I feel you're lying? Only after starting a scam accusation and getting your account tagged you realized that it is hacked? You know,you could always change your own email and password,pull a scam,come with a lame excuse to prove it was hacked.How come getting a virus in your computer results in only getting your BTC account hacked ? That has to be a really special virus...  Undecided 2FA asshole  2FA is enabled on all my accounts.  BTC doesn't have 2FA capabilities.  Are jerks like you born that way or do you learn it in life?


I was unable to regain control of my account using the prescribed methods and was going to make a post not to trust my previous "shojayxt" account.  I searched for "shojayxt" to see if there had been any activity on my compromised account and I found this thread.  It's unfortunate that you were the victim of the scumbag that hacked my account.  I wish I had made a post sooner informing people of the hacked account.  
How come all of this is coming out only after the account scammed again ?

I sent a message to a mod on October 12th asking if there was a way to regain my account.  

If you don't believe me you can go to hell.  I'm not going to use a legendary account that I had for years to scam someone out of .15 btc you jackass.  I've been through a whole bunch of bullshit changing passwords, wiping my computer, restoring backup, reinstalling apps.  And now I have to worry and monitor all of my accounts for an indefinite amount of time to make sure that other accounts have not been compromised.

It's been a big hassle and if you don't believe me you can think whatever you want.  All I have to say to you is Fuck Off Moron.

My account has been hacked.  Do not conduct any business with the user shojayxt.  It is not me.  After years of strict discipline regarding running downloaded wallets by running them only in virtualbox I bypassed that step and contracted a virus that allowed a hacker to gain access to my system.  It was then that my account was compromised. 

A few words of caution. 

VIRUSTOTAL DOES NOT IDENTIFY ALL THREATS AND SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED!

NEVER RUN ANY WALLET ON YOUR SYSTEM IF IT ISN'T ISOLATED USING METHODS SUCH AS VIRTUAL BOX.

ALWAYS KEEP BACKUPS OF ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE SO YOU CAN WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AFTER BEING COMPROMISED AND STILL HAVE YOUR DATA.

ALWAYS USE 2FA IF POSSIBLE ON ALL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS.  This likely saved me a significant amount of grief as I have all of my accounts that provide it protected by 2fa.

This has been an eye opening experience and one I do not wish to go through again.

JUST TO REPEAT:

THE ACCOUNT "SHOJAYXT" HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF A HACKER.

My account was hacked.  I contracted a virus and afterwards I was unable to login to my account.  I sent a message to an administrator to see what what recourse I had to recover my account.  Here is the response I received:

!!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!

Is there any way to get control of my account back?  I either changed my password and forgot it or I have had my account hacked.  I'm leaning towards being hacked since I had a virus about a week ago.  I changed all my passwords but I forgot to change my secret question.  It's 50/50 with whatever happened.

My username was shojayxt and it had Legendary account status.  I have control of the email account that I used to create it originally.  Its shojayxt@gmail.com and I have and am willing to forward emails from the past to pove that I was in control of the user account.  If there is nothing that you can do for me please at least let me know so I can make a post informing Bitcointalk users that the user "Shojayxt" has been compromised and not to deal with that user.  It's a Legendary account and some people might take that as a reason to trust and i don't want to see anyone scammed.

Thanks
Sorry for the late response (intense IRL week). Here are my suggestions:

1) If you haven't already, use the "Forgot your password?" feature (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reminder). If your email is still intact, you should recover your account rather quickly. DO NOT USE THE SECRET QUESTION FEATURE. Due to the forum getting compromised a while ago, any recovery attempt via the secret question will get your account suspended. Once you retrieve your account, remove both from you account in the "Account Related Settings".

2) If recovery failed, follow the instructions noted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0. To find all addresses you publicly posted, see your post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=showPosts).
