I don't believe your the first or will ever be the last as something similar happened to me but they where able to get into my Paypal (via Ebay) and use a credit card which was interesting as I was having arguements with Microsoft about having a £180 quid charged to me over games I never bought, I wasn't best amused... They were quite useless about it. Paypal I must say where fantastic and I'm not a fan of Paypal with how much they charge etc etc but moving on...

Still even all that fun on top, I now have more passwords and everything else to use and remember, there becomes a point that I really do wonder if I can be bothered with it at all sometimes... But I simply gave up and formatted the drive, it was so much easier to do after all the rubbish that was on the drive booting up random programs or IE windows with annoying music etc.. Most frustrating...



I'm sorry to hear it and I hope you're ok

FUCK - good thing you told me - I had password 2 step authenticated everything apart from paypal - those wankers bought £400's worth of xbox console and games. Luckily though they paid with Paypal credit so nothing was directly taken out of my bank account.

::EDIT::

Been on the phone to my bank - no big figures have been flying out of my account but i got them to deactivate and issue me a new card anyway.

I think the biggest problem I had was that I'd link Ebay to Paypal, so it was very easy for them to take whatever.. I would have expected them to take something better than Call of Duty 8 or whatever it was though....

I did the same with the card, got them to send out another. Sometimes even though your not at fault with this as you don't expect people to put spyware on your PC at home (but suppose it bets paying for something....??) but it does take to be very careful on what you set to remember when you log in. I find it rather sad to be in world like it but I suppose it'll get worse before it gets better??.....

It's such a pain in the arse when it happens, I'm glad nothing has been a big issue for you to get it all sorted out.

On a more positive note. I got this guys address. He's in Wakefield. I can go around there with a baseball bat and take back the xbox that I paid for.

The moment I knew something funny was happening, I yanked the net cable and hoped nothing important was taken. I went online with my laptop and two stepped my Hotmail and amazon but I didn't think of ebay or PayPal. Both of them are secured now and there's no other funny transactions in my PayPal so for the the moment all is clear. Repeated malware scans have drawn a blank

I wonder if asking for it back nicely would work as a starter? You could say are you FreedomEclipse? etc etc

I'd say that would be rather fun to do Well, figuratively speaking... Do you have a tracking number with your order??

No i dont as it was my JL account that made the purchase. I'll just wait a few days then arrive and lob a brick through his front window with a message tied to it that says "come the f**k out with my xbox right now"

Should throw in a Brexit jargon while you're at it.

Only works if they are polish or romanian

On the plus side - I got my £400 back and i still have the guys address, Ive had a look on googlemaps and it looks like a right trashy area.

Just been given the run around by my previous employer for the past week. I need my previous payslips sent to me because reasons but they dont seem to be interested in helping other than leading me on a wild goose chase spanning multiple companies which includes HMRC who also gave me a small run around BUT ITS OK. I finally got the information i needed/wanted but i want to go down to my previous employers HQ in Canary wharf and smash all the fucking windows of their big glass building with a sledgehammer.

I can finally move on.

 

[kurosagi01]

Damn...well on plus side we are having our first summer lol and i'm going to do an oil change and wash the car in this potential heat wave..oh yes.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Don't think there is but I do believe there is one on Overclockers forum, from what i've seen they are pretty efficient in RMAs.

I want to be back in hong kong

 

[kurosagi01]

I want to be back in hong kong

Would you want to with the protest still going?
Have fun huskie.

 

[dorsetknob]

I want to be back in hong kong

long way to go for a Protest

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Would you want to with the protest still going?

Oh hell yeah. At least the best places to eat will be slightly more emptier.

though with that said. you can get like char sui, sui yuk fan for so little money and its a good portion. Not even £10 feed two people and you get a drink with it too! Here its like £8 some small portion of noodles and you dont even get a drink.

Obviously the protest bugs me a little because even i dont want China taking full control of hong kong, but being british born, its not really my place to protest even if hong kong might be my future.

I've not had plate of char sui, suki yuk fan for myself in a few years now..not been to a chinese restaurant since my last grandma birthday before she got hospitalised and then passed.
My future is still UK sadly for me as my parents are not HK born nor UK born but mainlands/Vietnam so yeah i'm be sticking around the UK revolution of potential sh*t hole of whatever brexit has in store.

Sorry to hear about your nan - mine passed away too a few about a year ago. your parents might not of been born in HK but its not too late to strike out on your own and blaze your own path. HK is good but its hot and populated as hell and thats ignoring the politics side of things.

For me I suppose its the circle of life - both my parents were born there. my dad came here for schooling when he was 11 so he's been here most of his life before he went back to HK and met my mum and got married and moved to the UK. I was born here but i feel like i have some sort of bound duty to go back. My sister has already done it. So I guess so must I.
