    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?

    ughhh that stinks! Luckily I do really random things...like once my password for something was limegreen34 bc i like the number 34 and my phone was sitting next to me (lime green cover), so my password has never been hacked..well it had on another stupid site i was going to quit anyways but that was a long time ago.
    I would listen to karen and email the owner directly.

    I hope you can get this sorted out!!
    in on the joke and i cant stop laughing
