Two days ago I was given a ban from forums. At the time that the alleged rule breaking took place I was at work, with no Internet access and my mobile phone was locked away in a locker.
I now look in the forums and my username is stated in one forum as the last post on that thread. Yet I have not posted in that forum and when I look at my recent posts and on the said thread, there is nothing there from me.
I'm posting this in the full knowledge that it may be against the rules and may earn me a ban or will be locked and deleted. I am doing so because I have been unable to get any answers. I have contacted admin on five or six occasions since my ban but still nothing has been done to put this right.
HELP!!!!! |

Maybe someone has hacked your account. I suggest you change your password  |

Someone has been posting using your account. If that isnt you then someone else has access to it and has been posting from it.
Admin say that it can take 24-48hrs for them to review reports but the information about what you need to do is in FAQs:
I think someone else is logging into / has "hacked" my account!
If you think someone has gained access to your account you should immediately change your password on here via your change password page and on your associated email account if you're using web based email. You should run anti-virus and anti-spyware software to ensure that you don't have a keylogger or spyware installed on your computer.
We take the security of our site and database very seriously. The database server is on a seperate physical server behind a firewall to which only site owners have access, via a specified IP address. All passwords are encrypted and neither site owner nor admin have accesss to them.
The following are some common ways that accounts on Fab are compromised. Please be careful to avoid them!
1: Members share their password with friends, partners, lovers (this is the most common cause of "compromised" accounts).
2: Members login on other people's computers who run a keylogger (we see this via the login history of both parties, matched via verifications!).
3: In a couple, the partner changes/removes the profile and denies it (we see this because we record IP address and verify password of all account deletions).
4: The users use the same password on all sites they're on (including dodgy ones run by people who don't encrypt passwords), and site admins on other sites login using their info. On Fab, passwords are hidden from all users and admins.
5: The users email account is shared/compromised and the "hacker" gets their password from our initial signup email. |
