The past few days have been really really frustrating. I'm not as worried as day 1, when I woke up and felt horrified that my tag was recovered onto another console. Only 1 person knew my password and I trust him, and he told me that he noticed I wasn't on his friends list anymore. A couple other people asked why I deleted them and then when some tried to re-add me, they said that my gamertag did not exsist anymore... That's when I knew that my account was hacked and stolen.
1. My bank account is currently suspended - I had an over draft of $51.46, I was going to pay my draft + fee's a couple days ago, but now that this has happened I was going to wait out till I get my tag back just to be safe. I also was thinking of getting a new account, shutting that one down, and paying my draft+fee's. A good thing I am in the negative is that XBL Customer Service said that who ever was on my account did try to make SEVERAL attempts to purchase thing's on my account but would get declined since I was in an overdraft situation.
2. My next problem. The person also figured out my Email linked to my gamertag. And also stole my Yahoo Email account as well. Since it isn't XBL related... the only thing I can do is hope that everything I own that is connected to my Yahoo that I delete. I think they got a hold of my You Tube because it is no longer a user name either. My Twitter is linked to it and my Daily Booth which I don't really care for much (which is why I refrained from updating anymore on those two).
XBL suspended my tag. And I'm waiting out on a couple days. It was Friday when I made that call and now it's Monday... I will probably check in later this afternoon or wait till tomorrow.
This is a nightmare to me. I really didn't think this could happen to me, and I really don't have any clue who and why they would do this to me. The only disturbing thing that has happened to me the night before my account got stolen was someone between ages 15-17 had sent me a hateful message, which probably has nothing to do with it but I remember listening to the voice message and they were pretty angry saying something like "Yo, that aint cool you're moding, what are you like a man not a girl" etc, etc. Bringing up my gender this and that. This person I remember well because I killed him like 7+ the past couple games in a row. I was only using an STG-44 against his Ppsh... at long range and he called it "modding" long range rifle vs. short high rate fired l. machine gun... you be the judge...
Anyway, I was probably getting more hateful comments that night but I was in a private chat the whole entire night. I never modded before so that was a first when I heard that. Does it sound conceited when I say I know I'm not horrible at WaW? Because I know I'm not... when I messaged the kid I said that It's called somewhat skill maybe luck because I know where people hide/camp on the maps so well that I shoot automatically there and get people. Castle, Dome, Asylum, and Upheaval are my maps. MY MAPS. lol I seriously know every spot and sometimes I know too much that I can just shoot right away and get someone. lol
Anyway.... I just wanted to conclude that I didn't imagine that I would be a victim to something "Identity Theft" related. I've seen it happen to a couple of my friends and in fact it happen to someone 2 days before me... and I just didn't think I'd have to go through that.
Note: I'm making a new Email, Password, probably deleting my other accounts I have on the internet. And not save any password on my webpage, I'll just have to type it out even though that can get annoying, but "lazyness will get you nowhere" right? lol. Well... that's pretty much what has been going on. And I hope no one else I know goes through a nightmare like this.
P.S. XBL Customer Service took a whopping 45minutes w/me. I heard over 8 songs & I do have patience. Just crazy how long I was on the phone. But I do what I can to get my shit back... I just hope I do get it back. I put 2 years into my PSU account & I put in a lot of work on my COD WaW level... I was so close to Prestige 9. I wanted to 10 so badly.
P.S.S. Whoever stole my shit didn't know I play a semi-mmo (PSU) and that I had a friend check my partner card list and they saw that my tag was a different name. I won't give it out because I don't want to further any confrontation or attempt in fear they might steal it again, but also they can't do anything right now since XBL suspended it for me. I have to make another call today or tomorrow to see if they furthered the "investigation" for it.
Crosses fingers.
