0.3 BTC loan. 0.325 return. Legendary account collateral.

Yes i did.

Awaiting a response back.

Edit: It's been roughly the better par of a day.  Hoping i didn't goof up the message signing :x

I would suggest you PM Cyrus too, Cyrus is more active on the forum so you might be able to recover your account faster.

Theymos got back to me pretty fast as it turned out.  The .3 btc that this hacker was looking to scam people out for will instead go to the forum as a donation.  So, in the end, his actions only will make the forum that much stronger.

First, let me be the first to say, welcome back and I hope you recover your account quickly.  These a** hackers are a pain in the ass.  Why do they not do something worth doing, like hacking for companies to help strengthen their sites and security.  

Thanks!

The irony is that my sig was totally anti-hacker/troll/thief et all...


...... and i got hijacked due to lackadaisical password handling.


 I learned a lesson on this one.

How is it going on getting this account back?  Did they respond about it yet?  I see he dropped the use of the account, so why not just return the account?  I hate people like this.  I wish I had the skill they do to be able to do this kind of hacking.  I could make a lot of money working for companies getting paid to try to hack their security!!  Good luck again.

Still waiting on the recovery email.

Either way, atp1916 is locked and for the moment safe.

No hacker has control of it.

Wow, reading this whole thread...this shit is like a movie.
The amount of effort (or lack-there-of) of this scam attempt was pretty amazing.
Then the amount of people who researched more into the account finding out anomalies was cool.

I guess the point of this story, is don't believe a sob story and check your facts....
Heck, i know I would have lent him the money if these anomalies wern't uncovered...

This hacker definitely didn't get his facts straight - cold in Texas in July?  Now there's a good one.  It's usually no "cooler" than 80F down here.  

The sad part is that he has likely gotten victims with exactly that story because he tried it again here.

The lesson learned for me is to keep better tabs on forum accounts even if I am not active too much on those forums.  The mere existence of the account does imply a minimum level of responsibility to know what's going on.

Above all, I'm just glad that there are so many seasoned scam busters lurking in the forums here.  The bar is definitely up there for the kinds of stories these clowns have to put out in order to get someone.
