well you guys ive got bad news

[TheyCallMeC]

my steam account got hacked

ya so im not going to be seen in game for awhile

and its going to be hard to get my acount back because the email i started the steam account on has been deleted, i dont have the game discs i used to dl the games, and well to be honest i just dont feel like going through all the trouble of getting everything i need to recover the account

so i might make a new steam account and try to get games on it

of course i have no source of income so even buying the games will be difficult

all and all, id say that itll be a couple of monthes until im up and gaming again

and that all depends on whether i can get a job sometime in the next couple monthes

 

[Slither]

damn that sucks man. :O

 

[Split]

do you have you have an original CD key that you used to activate a game?

 

[TheyCallMeC]

well split like i said i dont have the disks anymore
and i didnt write down the keys

 

[Split]

oh that sucks

 

[TheyCallMeC]

ya ikr?

worst part was the way i found out

byakuya messaged me on the forums saying "C you know your accounts been hacked right?"

so my first instinct is, nah this is some twisted joke

so i go to log into steam

and its saying that its either the wrong account or the wrong password

my reaction was "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
^^^^i know that its a little inappropriate for the forums but thats the way stuff went down




so now im kind of hoping that if i start a new steam account that maybe some of the fine, generous people here at EdgeGamers might find it in their large, kind hearts to maybe gift me a game to get me started up again

 

[Ledzo-INACTIVE]

Hey mate , I'm sorry for you hope you will get back soon !
It really sucks alot .

 

[Tikeraaq]

Well. I could get some money and gift you CS:S. Don't feel right that a fellow CS:S division guy is left for dead. I'll see what I can do. 2 questions though.

1) How did you get your account hacked? If you clicked on a mysterious link, I might beat you to death with a pool noodle.

2) How will I gift you a game if you don't even have a steam account to begin with? This dawned upon me right when I was gonna post it.

Once again, sorry for your loss.

Haha.

People aren't going to give you new games. You weren't careful enough with your first ones, now you have to pay for it. There is a million "don't click links" etc posted everywhere.

You either typed your info into a random site, which is pretty bad, or you clicked a link and now have a trojan.

So, if you did click a link, and didn't type in your info you have a lot more to worry about than just your steam account getting stolen. Might want to remove it because if it's still on your computer, even if you make a new account and buy new games it will get stolen aswell. It has complete access to your info as long as it's on your computer.

 

[klepto]

ya sorry you got hacked but its only your fault you got hacked

 

[Byakuya]

You absolutely can not let the hackers win, even if it its just for the principle of the matter you MUST recover your account.

 

[Soul_of_a_Sinner]

ugh...I feel for you man but this is also a perfect example of
EPIC FAIL

 

[TheyCallMeC]

just for all you that are like "Oh its your fault!" and "oh you shouldnt have clicked that link!"

i didnt put in my info anywhere and i didnt click any stupid links

chances are that somewhere along my adventures across the interwebs i picked up a trojan, as chemist seems to think

*edit*well my virus scan just finished up. doesnt appear that i have any virus' or spyware so... this is all just one big conundrum to me

 

[Lil-C]

Sorry m8!

well if you bought games with a credit card you can just sumbit a ticket and put your credit card info and games you bought with it to show the most proof that you are the true owner, that is what i do whenever i get hacked and it always works... trust me i got hacked over 5 times probly lol... but i always get back the ones who hack me and i get them REAAAAAL goooood <3
