Originally by: Kuolematon I wonder why people has to write down their passwd's?!
I have to remember around 50 passwords. Inwork admins passwds for multiple systems and my own passwds. Never I had to write 'em down. Silly you people
... (what if) one day you get into an accident and your IT coworkers at work will thank you for not having written down those admins passwds for multiple systems. |

Originally by: Stephen Katze How very sad...that I just wasted two hours of my life reading a pointless BS story.
It took you two hours? What are you, six years old? It's like 3 pages long!
ArcticWolf/Shadow, my sympathies on your situation, identity theft is only getting worse lately. Glad the culprit was caught, hope you get your accounts back.

I wish ccp would put your charaters back into play for you I would hope that they would do the same for me if somthing along these lines happened. Far as proof i dont see what a police report paypal records and a couple calls to the police station and paypal to comfirm the info would not be enough to get your chars back i would like to see a dev post on this and explain why because it sounds like to me that you have everything to back up the story.
I also saw that you said ccp is helping you buy given ya +2 implants come on thats like ok bud you begged enough and i guess will help you with some 10mil isk worth of implants wow what a big help. Basicly what i am tryin to say is please ccp look at the proof he can provide and do the right thing here because i would hope you would do the same for me and all in all i know this is just a game but this is one of the most intesive games on the market today with the huge steep time sink it takes and for 3 years to be snatched away after you molding your char to elite perfection and the minning and ratting and everything it took to get there just lost in a instance. Anyways I could go on and on but please ccp do the right thing here as long as he can give you the proof its just a couple calls to confirm it ty bye.

I am only a year into the game but would be pretty devistated if it happened to me. Your story states how enthusiastic you are for the game clearly something has happened beyond your control. I hope CCP looks again at your case Good luck with your plight.

Originally by: Firane Interesting and dishearteneing story. Identity theft is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. I hope you can get your characters back.. keep pushing the issue in the community and CCP will be helpless to resist.
Also its probably Brigitte from S.A.S you're talking about in that part of the story.
You win this thread, mate

Hehe,, I was wondering the same thing. Took me just a few minutes.... anywho....
Fraud is fraud,,, it should not matter what was bought or sold via PayPal... if the account is comprimised for whatever reason, there should be some type of insurance to address that sort of scenario. Your wallet gets stolen, you are covered. Your password gets stolen, you are not?
Just seems weird to me.

far out, great story.
Sorry about what happened, I really hope you get your account back. Cant see why CCP cant at least have a look at the police report and open the accounts.
I have to wonder who it was that did it though. Must have been someone you know IRL? dont know if you can say who it was or not...

No I was talking about my corp. I didnt ask them for anything, but they still gave me a few implants to at least get started

I also have a credit card, and I was using that to get some cashback on all the spending, so I left the other debit (with credit card logo) "safe" at home. And the person was no friend of mine, but more of a friend of a friend who was in my house once, and who I showed my character too and explained how eve worked.

There is also an issue of walking out of someone else's house with a TV, DVD player, Stereo, and computer... it looks just a little bit suspicious.
While electronicly transfering some files and walking away with a thumb drive looks pretty normal.
My guess is that our freind here lives in a house/apartment that is frequented by many people ranging from cool to unsavory. I've been there and done that. I'm telling you, deadbolt your door. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________

Dont be silly. the #1 one rule for computer security is to make the computer itself PHYSICALLY secure.
if they can actually lay hands on your machine unattended for any serious length of time, no security software in the world is going to save you if the intruder has a clue.
Someone broke into his house and stole his stuff/installed a keylogger. while most keyloggers can be detected by av software, there are numerous ones that cant be. Things like root kits and such.
There are even devices you can stick inside the case that can pass casual inspection by someone who doesnt know what to look for.

I remember you too, and since I have yet to get another mail since the one of over a month ago I assume my issue is low priority compared to the server stability and upcoming patch. In the meantime I have continued to play with this character, and reactivated my character ShadowWo1f which was on a seperate account. He only has a few million skillpoints, but it's something!

I'm sorry but I'm not buying this lame story for one second. After all the bogus reminiscing and pleading for money, the only thing I think happened was that ArcticShadow was caught selling his character on eBay. I'm sorry but without any proof what-so-ever, I will remain thinking that.
Ruined your life? Man, get a spine.

Ruined your life? Man, get a spine.
The reason why I said ruined my life was because of the chargebacks I had lost the thousands of dollars I had saved up for college. In a month and a half I managed with two jobs full time to get enough money back to enroll in college. However I still have to work full time and go to school full time in order to be prepared for next semester. As for proof, I have tried to post things, but discusson of the petetions status any further than what I have said results in a deleted post. --- ArcticWolf, member of Eve since February, 2003.

I am sorry for what has happened to you. I can only say that CCP is making this kind of things happen more and more. By promoting cheating, stealing, lies and betrayals in game, they dont think doing anything wrong. But when people DO use real time and money in this game, the damage done is more real than thought.
The worse the damage, the more it is praised and admired as an achievement. We all must know how much real time and money is in this game. Police knows that even mafia and criminals alike have come into this business.
This is one of the first more famous examples of what surely will follow. When the games grow to be something worth real money, there will be real crimes. And EVE being a ultra-low morale game, is just ironic.
I just wish games could be games only. EVE is not just a game anymore. Its virtual reality has more and more REAL consequences to real life. Losing in game is losing REAL MONEY. It being a game does not make a crime in game to a crime in the real world. Just the loss of victims is real money.
Btw. what is the current value of ISK. 150 euros for a billion ISK? And an 3 year old account 3100 USD?
I know CCP does not allow selling game currency or accounts, but if you check the reality you know it happens.
Virtuality and reality now have a solid connection, game currency has an exchange rate. And the sums involved are big enough for it to attract real criminals.
Luckily I have not lost much in EVE. I am sorry for those who have.

Sucks man.
But I guess theres nothing you can do it about it.
I hope you beef up your home security... but seriously one single sheet with all your life info on it?
I know some people have trouble remembering their accounts etc but theres ways to mask, hide them even.
I dunno what it is about ym brain but I can look at a number that is important to me (such as my National Insurance number, Bank account number, licence plate, mobile number) and will be able to recall it within a few days and then from then it'll be in the forefront of my mind.
But yeah, no more single sheets? --------------

Hi there, read through your story, very compelling and heartfelt..
Apart from a couple of holes in the story that does get me thinking, I think your story could be true, shame on you if it isnÆt though. IÆm just a bystander so it shouldnÆt matter on the subject though.
Defiantly pulls on my strings, as after 3 years of play I am very attached to my character and wouldnÆt wish this upon anyone who has spent so much time ôbeingö apart of our online universe, to others who read this and think how can some one become so attached, then you donÆt realise that EVE can become more than a game, you make real life friends from it, its with you in the background constantly, and its not like another game that just gets put onto the pile of games that have long passed.
Yes I do have a life and no I donÆt spend it all on EVE, but that doesnÆt mean EVE isnÆt apart of my life, just like it is to many others.
So if this is true then good luck with fighting to get yourself back.
