Account hacking

[Unregistered User]

Someone has tried to access my very boring account multiple times. At least thirty in the last 24 hours Are there things I should be doing that would end this? Others must of been in the situation. Help appreciated. It's really complicating things. Also, a bit creepy, and irritating.

My Google phone was notifying me like crazy.

Happened to me as well earlier, got 10 or so emails saying I had requested a password change and needed to click the approval link.

Well if it's them that's fine. It's not like this is an account full of hot, and controversial info. It's just a bit persistent. It was going on before I payed the $125, and continued after, it currently has ended. So because of that I used a third party source to pay last night.

I’m lost.

Sounds like a con. They send you notifications your being hacked but if you pay they can make it stop.

Is it just this website? That is very odd. I don't understand the point of compromising this account?

What did you pay the $125 for? Some screen shots from someone else who got the notifications might help. Sounds like a scam. If we can confirm, maybe a PSA is indicated?

What notifications are you getting? The only notifications I get are emails for new replies and likes.

My phone. It must be because it's a google phone? It tells me someone is trying to access my account, and my account info is not safe. It only tells me when it's happening, and I'm logged in. It doesn't when I'm logged out, and it hasn't now in hours, but I haven't been on much. Next time it happens I will screen shot. I was more wondering if this is more normal, and it's bots. Obviously it's not normal, and therefore likely not a bot.

$100 to join the group! Totally worth the money. The $25 just bought extra entries (putting my first tank together).

Reset your password. Always use a password manager to generate and store password.

O to update you guys on it. I stayed logged in throughout the day. Not one attempt since 3pm... Lol... I think this post may have helped.

I've never had that happen... might be something with the Google software on the phone. I have an S8+. Do you use the apps, or the webpage to view?

Why I asked. I thought maybe bots are a problem? This is my first forum. The important thing is, it has stopped, and not happening anymore. :)

I'm sorry. Basically the page kept freezing because google kept telling me someone was trying to access into the account. I wanted to find out from others if this is common whether fluke, bots, or people. It was making posting very difficult. If something posted it then was posting multiple times. Regardless, thankfully it's not still happening.
