The best thing you can do, is change your password every week, that is what I did after my account was hijacked

@tenrecords - You are so right about scam's, anywhere were their is a scam coming out from a foreign country is usually from Lagos Nigeria. What Pll need to do is to write a letter to attorney general's office or go in person to you F.B.I. offices and report thier Ugly balck ass. Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence Attorney General's Office Division of Law Enforcement 1+916+319-9070

I fell for this too. However it was stating I was in London and needed 1900. I had to email hotmail and do a verification of my information. I couldn't do a password reset as they had changed my password and all my information. They also had my facebook account disabled becuase they were asking those people for money too. THESE PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES. I am so ashamed I fell for it. I had doubts but the email looked legit as it had the hotmail signature on it.

The procedure is called "phishing" and takes various forms, but all follows the same description. They claim to be some person or company and always ask you to verify your account information by typing it in, usually followed by an ultimatum.
As a result, authentic companies or organizations will never ask you for you to verify or to re-enter your account information.
I'd also like to point out that any links they provide should be verily scrutinized, as they will mimic well-known sites.

Hi Sustanon20, thanks for posting. Actually I don't think the scammers are particularly age discriminatory, unlike the UK in general, I think they target anybody. Best, ERic.
