Someone made an account with my RW name and E-mail. Why would they do that? To try and boot me off?

It happened to about 10 people including Blood Wake. Blood wake got disabled from it. My guess is that someone found the e mail addresses (either by looking for everyones, which could be hard because not everyone uses the e mail address that they give out), or they hacked in and found the e mail addresses from the DB.

If the e mail they signed you up for isn't the one you used to sign up for real, then i would assume it was the first prediction, if it was the right one and you never told anyone about that e mail address, i would assume it was the later.

Blood wake got off the hook for this, i assume everyone else who got cought in the same problem did too. I use a different e mail address other then my normal one to prevent this very thing, i suggest you do it too.

The administration team would like to thank you for reporting you problems and... Wait a second... Are you guys SURE i'm not an admin? I mean... c'mon....

This same thing keeps happening on my Warbands 2 game!!!!

I bet it's the same person.

Anyone have any ideas who's doing this?

Yeh... That happened to me... I'm undisabled now though.

Menatus · October 21, 2003, 10:26:57 AM

But it sent to my normal E-mail, which I used to sign up for regular with. Maybe they signed up for turno or something.

Maybe it would be safer to not revael your E-mail to anyone here. No one knows mine, I've been very careful, people could also sigh you up for spam...

if it were turbo it would have "Turbo" added to the end of it.

See my suggestion in the other topic.

My e-mail's not on here. It's all over my website though. I'm not confidential about anything. I don't know, it didn't do anything so it doesn't matter for now.

Ashyra Nightwing · October 22, 2003, 10:07:17 AM

Odd. I'm not confidential about my email, but I don't think anyone here knows it...

Someone on your MSN/ICQ/Yahoo/AIM contact list would be my first guess. Start including IPs on the sign up emails, even though a proxy would render it useless, you might catch a few amateurs.
