He somehow just sent me another messge:

.

It's all true except for the library part, but I sometimes do go there

EDIT: I just got another message:

hi. you are now my friend. i like avatars. i know someone who likes avatars, froggy_rocks. i also know someone else who likes avatars...me.

Wow. That is REALLY creepy.

How about we have a group of people neomail these harassers and try and deduce what is up? Maybe they are friends of yours playing a prank.

[hynfaeries0]

Oh no. my bank is empty!!!!! I had 2 mil. in there!! Where did it go!! Somebody help!!

[Crescendo]

SERIOUSLY?

1. Change your password
2. Change your email
3. Change all of your info
4. Take a break
5. Make sure that none of your friends did this as a prank

Did you change everything? I'm checking up on your account. At least your pets are there.

he sent me two more messges:

you can compenate for your lack of knowledge by dialoging too much. don't be limited by society's expectations that you be interesting.

they say people fear public speaking for than death. so, technically, if you kill a guy schedueled for a speech, you're doing him a favor, right?

Maybe it's someone from PPT. Check all of your posts, to see if you posted any information this person knows.

why would anybody on pinkpt do this? I think that the last message was a threat or something.

Well, I have been threatened by people from PPT before. There are some crazies that go here...And I looked at all of your posts. You are obviously a very rich and lucky Neopian, not to mention an excellent restocker. You'd be a target of any loser scammer that comes strolling along. Are you missing anything else?

[DiscordantNote]

Did you report him yet?

Also, think of ways he could've gotten into your account. Have you talked to anyone on an IM lately you didn't know? Does anyone know about any hotmail/yahoo accounts you may have? I know there was a glitch where someone trying to become your Neofriend could break into your account, I thought that was elminiated.

[everconfused]

hyn, have you emailed, used your im, aim, etc. with anyone. You have alot of information under your posts here. Your website, email, im, etc. and if you did im with someone and you direct connected you could have gotten your email "cracked", which means they've got your password to that! as well as anything else they want.

So it could have been someone who came here lurking (scary thought) but someone else posted a topic that they were contacted via im and the person said they saw them here and wanted to know what their neo username was, etc. I'm wondering if it's the same person.

Discordant, there was a glitch like that? Someone being a nf could get into your account?! I missed that one. Am very glad I keep nf requests blocked now.

This is terrible. Have you been able to change all your passwords to everything? Do that, please.

Also, for your email - if you have one, change your security question and answer - make the answer something totally irrelevant to the question and something that makes no sense (harder to guess). If you don't have a security question/answer set up and have the option do do so, do it.

Clear your cookies, history trail and temporary internet.

After you sign off the internet, if you have system restore on your computer - disable it and run a deep scan of your anti virus and spyware detector/remover. Though I have an awful feeling that this happened as a result of getting ahold of information.

Lastly, take your information (and I suggest this to everyone) off of your profile here or any other forum. The world does not need to know your email or instant messenger. Only people you know/talk to alot/feel you can trust should have that.

Please keep us updated.

I'm not missing anything else that I can tell. The only person that I can think of that would be mad of me on pinkpt is .ccy. He PM me saying that I was the person that got him banned.

I just did all of that, except the email settings. It's too confusing. I don't go to Im chat rooms and all my buddies are friends. so that's ruled out

It's possible, he went to the same library you do from what I understand, probably along with another person. Think of anyone else who is a Neopets user that went to that library, because it's probably their fault (especially if they know that much about you).

I would get a completely new E-Mail, personally. Safer.

And block neofriend requests- It will help dearly.
