My facebook and email have been hacked. If you got a message that I'm stuck in London with no money, I'm really sorry. I have no idea what's going on and I'm trying to fix it. If you have any ideas on what to do, please let me know.

I saw that and figured it had to be something like that -- we would have heard if you were in London. *G*

Best of luck with this!

I would suggest getting a hold of both Facebook and Gmail (they should have a 'hacked' or something link somewhere) and then scanning your system with free Avast! antivirus and Malwarebytes (also free). I can dig up links when I'm not in a huge hurry. Most of the time when things get 'hacked' these days it's due to a keylogger. DO NOT change your passwords/log into anything until you've done several deep scans on your computer. Also, I'd contact your bank and let them know as well if you've ever used that computer to log into your bank information.

The links above are awesome, thanks Rose. DO scan your computer first though, find your keylogger.

They g-chatted me. I was amused, and pointed out that trying to pull that crap on people who know the person whose e-mail they've hacked is kind of, oh...dumb?

And then I fired up LJ to try to post a PSA but you'd beaten me to it!

Crazy, I was just kind of going, hmm, would Green be in London. No.

So bizarre.

Yeah, I figured that it wasn't you from the bad grammar. :-)

It seemed unlikely that you were in London. I just deleted. Glad to know your LJ is safe!

Hacker needs to learn a few things about London, like how hard it is to get a gun.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing!

You should absolutely contact gmail and facebook, Green, and tell them what happened. They ought to be able to figure out that you're you with the information you gave when you started up the accounts, and then they can restore them to you.

I got that, too, and I figured that you would have told us you were going to London. LOL

ETA: Also? You have better punctuation and grammar. :)

I am so sorry you were subjected to this. My b-i-l got hacked a few months ago - they sent a virus to all his e-mail contacts.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought, too. That and "I'm pretty sure she's not in London right now..."

I'm also in the contacting Facebook and Gmail camp ::hugs::

What an awful thing :( I don't know if you have any paypal accounts attached to those accounts, but if you do you might want to check on them and change passwords there asap. Good luck!

ACK! I got an email from you. I'm really relieved you're OK! Good luck getting it all sorted.

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

Yes, i got one of those. I'm glad you are okay and not really in trouble! Maybe you can contact someone at facebook and your email? Stupid hackers, hate em! Take care!
