right were do i start,its 0345 and i am concerned someone out there could loose some money.
my chianti cerb has been up for sale on pistonheads NOW REMOVED and on a very well known buying and selling site not sure if i can name or not? about 10 hours left to run.
i URGE PEOPLE DO NOT BID ON MY CAR,the reason being for the second time my buying and selling accounts have been compromised and i have no control over them.
bogus ads were still being placed on my account after i had cancelled my credit cards no idea how m
any?.
i was very lucky that a friend of a friend is in the country he is a highly qualified computer consulltant working for many huge multi national companies,one of his qualifications being he is a ethical hacker not100% sure what that means.
anyway he spent some time on my computer security stuff and he is 99.99999999999999% certain that the security breach is at the other webb site,he feels he could prove this but it would be illegal if i contact the site there attitude will prove it.
i am not sure what will happen in the comming weeks when the site try to collect there money from the closed accounts?.
also over christmas when i had no access to anything a lot of people tried to contact me via email
as the hackers placed an ad for my car at half the price,the hackers now have those peoples email addresses and some phone numbers.
up to now i think i have lost about£ £50,back down the police station in a few hours to add to my earlier statements.
AS I SAID EARLIER PLEASE DO NT BID ON MY CAR.

Did your credit card co. not inform you about problems? My wifes card was cloned a fortnight ago and they tried to access our paypal account but were stopped by Barclaycard they also tried paying for certain household bills with it!!

We think it was cloned at a certain well known garage. Anyway hope you get it sorted, you shoudnt be out of pocket for any monies that was taken out of your account though.

Mine was cloned once in a very nice resturant near Carnaby Street, London.

I was taking out some American' sover on business and picked up the bill. I never thought twice about siging for PDQ print out, even though it was chip and pin.

Now after that signature that had my card details, security number, and signature. The only thing they did not have was my post code, which gave the game away when they hit the internet buy all sorts of goods. My CC company picked up on it straight away, "pfishing" they called it, so I was covered.

Hope you get it all sorted out soon

Have a better 2008

Sorry for seeming a bit thick but what account did they hack, do you have to set up an account to advertise your car on PH?

right where do i start?,lost money returned,all accounts returned,i am more the wiser with what goes on at the buying and selling SITE.
not sure to explain exactly what i mean,the clues are sometimes credit cards are cloned
and in the original post i said i was helped with without doubt a very clever person.
also in life people do pass on information for money.
like i said its abit awkward to say exactly what i mean.
