Scam alert!!!!

Hi, I have received (2) emails reagrding this post:

"Re: Rolex 178274 (Datejust 31 SS Jubilee fluted Roman Rhodium)"

I personally have NO such watch for sale. Someone has spammed my account.

I do NOT know what to do about it. Would appreciate one of the admins contacting me.

Thank you

In your other thread you got good advice: change your password.

They usually take over your account when you click on a suspect link and then try to sell stuff under your name.

POSTING THIS IN A COUPLE OF PLACES:

Thank you to the Mods on the Rolex Forum. IMHO the mods on WUS are terrible! Logged on this morning to find out that they have BANNED my account due to being hacked.
Well crap...But I guess I understood.
So, I RE-registered. Had to come up with a new username. Had to use a DIFFERENT email account.
And as soon as I log on with my new account, I got banned for MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS?!?!
SERIOUSLY??
What the hell do they want me to do?!?

Terrible huh? We want you to contact an Admin by using the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of every page (on both WUS and TRF). As I've explained to you already your account was temp-banned to stop the hacker from contacting members from your account. Since this post is here too I'm guessing you use the same username and password for all of your accounts?

Something similar could have happened here if you took that route. No need to be bashing WUS.
