My account, Soroner, just got taken over and is going to be "suicided". To prevent this entirely, take your AOL, MSN, etc. any screen name out of your profile. Two people got me into a chat today and told me that I was a top candidate for moderator. I liked this idea quite a lot, so I started to listen to them.
This is where it gets bad, I decided to give them my email address, but then they asked for my password. At first I was really sceptical about giving it to them, but after some convincing they made up something about a moderator board and being logged on to my account and using the password. Then they took control of my account, and are using it to post all kinds of crap all over GameFAQS, attempting to get me banned.
Moral of the story, DON'T listen to anybody trying to pull this crap on you! I can't believe that I fell for it, but I am just trying to warn you guys.

Sux that people would try to do that... but no offense... that was really stupid to give them your password. I'd love to hear the actual story they gave you to convince you that could of possibly been a good Idea.

Believe me Death, I know it was stupid. I'm not really mad though, I needed a reason to stop staying on the computer all day.

Can't you just change your GFAQS password?

I'm assuming once they had his password they changed it so he couldn't get into his own account.
