    Hopefully Karen or Paul can give you some insight.

    Does the friend who emailed you have any idea who it is?

    All I can think of is reporting this to your IP, but I don't really know what they could do but dispense advice.

    Maybe in a couple of months, reapply with a new screen name. If the password abuse has STILL been going on, they'll know it's not you, and may re-admit you.

    It IS really rude that they don't give you an answer or explanation!

    Good luck with this.

    I got an email from the site admin "team" advising me of being banned. Ever since I began talking with them to figure this out, I don't think Ive corrisponded with the same person twice . I've already changed some less than stable passwords (especially the ones that were the same as the account in question!)

    Thanks for listening to me rant. Grrr, I know this shouldnt upset me (it is just the internet) but It makes me angry that Ive paid a company just to treat me badly.

    I'd look up whoever owns the site, and email him or her directly, and ask what happened. Explain that you are afraid your account was compromised, and that you need them to remove information from your profile there for that reason. Ask if they can delete your account there, or at the very least, remove all contact information and links from your profile.

    Thanks for the advice! That is an idea I didn't think of. Maybe if I go the site owners I'll get a better response than from the admin "staff"

    HUmmm... It just ticks me off that people have to mess with other people like that. They don't need a reason, they just do it because they can. Hacking into other peoples account is just a game to them and they don't need a reason to do it... Have no doubt, they will pay for it someday! That old saying "what goes around, comes around" is SO true.... Someone will hack them one day and screw them up!

    What is password scamming?

    I'm kinda confused because it sounds like you are the victim of password scamming.

    Are they saying you figured out someone else's password and used it maliciously on the site?
