So I pretty much had my identity stolen. My yahoo, and gmail accounts were hacked and then my PayPal account. They changed all my passwords so I couldn't log on. Then, they changed the email off my PayPal account and authenticated it with my social security number. They took $500 from my checking account into PayPal, luckily PayPal seen something was fishy and suspended my account. I recovered my email address's and they blocked all emails from [email protected], crafty ******s!
I noticed on my gmail at the bottom you can view recent activity on the account. Low and behold on the 16th when all my was taken over we have United Kingdom (109.123.99.55). Are there any programs you guys know of where I could get info from IP address's? Maybe some computer savvy guys know how to get info like the guys do on 4chan? lol |

that ip is worthless to you (considering the person who did this to you obviously has skill he wouldn't have used his real IP) I can almost guarantee it's some sort of proxy service or bouncer
that's pretty ty though i can't imagine how much dick that sucks :( good luck man.
sounds like your secret question was guessed / your was socialed
edit: all you can really do is lookup who the provider is and rough location, but that's as far it will go without getting the law involved an isp won't give up the details for who was using / who owns that ip.
sorry m8 |

i would call around to anything thats tied to your email accounts. have them just check over things and make them put a note on the account your dealing with someone trying to hijack.
what he probably did was get into your email 1st, did some searches to see what you're signed up to and then from there just did forgot password / username on all your sites. start with the most valuable stuff (banking if you do it online hit them up)
switch passwords (pain in the ass i know) and just change secret questions to garbage text and you'll be alright.
edit: before you change any passwords or anything on your computer do a scan for anything, use malware antibytes and nod32. run any AV tool you can just in case |

| i wouldn't give the crook too much credit. once he figures out your email password then he has access to all your emails which will most likely include info about your other accounts and if they use the same password then thats all there is to it. if not he can then send a request to paypal that he can't remember the password which they will send a new one to your email which he has access to. |

Yeah did all that. Even had to change my bank account #'s. The guy I talked to on PayPal was like they had your account number and social security number, that's scary. I was like no !
Now, I cant log onto PayPal without getting a random pin text to my phone, which is an awesome feature!

| You know, Chris, I like you and stuff but I need to point out that there's some irony about you being prepared for everything - except this :p |
