Well I got scammed after 9yrs of UO. My account was deleted, I lost about 100mill in items and about 40 mill in checks. The culprit actually named the character Diablo thx scanner. I don't think it was him at all.

He doesn't think it was you. Sounds like whomever it was, is trying to make him think it was you.

Bud you know i didn't steal/hack your account... you allowed me to get it back for myself so the guy that stole it wouldn't have it.

Enjoy what?

I sold you an account for 30 mill i sure the hell didn't take it back...
As if you aren't well known for that exact same scenario. Why anyone would even consider doing business with you, is beyond me.

New players of the shard... Take heed.

Okay i am not saying i dont have a bad rep or known for that... But I did not take the account i sold kage back nor did i log on to it, loot it or anything else, so it was either his main account that got taken or another account of his. It had nothing to do with me. I dont know his main account info nor do i have any way of i getting it. I've never bought any accounts from kage.


Regardless listen to Kat be warned im a loser dont do business with me whatever..

I'm pretty much done. Soulweaver enjoy.
Kage - I encourage you to contact EA and ask them to investigate this. I would also contact the Net Crimes division of your local police department [most have them these days] and file a theft report. Either way, I know for a fact that EA can sometimes determine who did what and occasionally even replace certain items under certain circumstances. Regardless of any of that, its worth pursuing. Don't take BS like this lying down.

Let's just say this no one had the info to lager or knew my new email. I buy a new acct, and put my info on the acct and a few days later I loose all my items my main is deleted and renamed as a person who plays siege. And the soulstones to the new acct are also missing.

Pretty much scammer calls EA I forgot my E-mail to my acct. EA gives out my E-mail. Scanner calls back yes I lost some accounts here is my E-mail, yes I can't remember my pw. EA Rep with no damn sense here yougo sir. I hope you have a good day. And since I have a different E-mail than I did the last time I played that only leaves one person who could obtain my E-mail

E.A. keeps logs of their phone call them up and find out if anyone called about your account names that this happened to. They will tell you if anyone tried to get information or anything like this is all on record they may not tell you names of who they talked to but they will tell you their was a person calling about the account.

I concur. I also have noticed something amiss, and only one person would bother with that something.

Also contact EA as Kat said if the character was deleated they have his skills etc saved, anything the character had scroll wise they can revert for you. If you explain you were hacked and the characters was deleated. They can at least save your character

Don´t quit over something like this Kage. That will only make the person who did it even more satisfied with him/herself.

Step away from the computer for a week or so and then come back and accept an offered account if you need and as for items, I guess your guild would be wealthy enough to get you back in no time.

I can understand you want to quit now but that´s probably cuz it just happened and the shock is talking...

Weren't you on here a month or two ago saying you quit?

I don't know if you got scammed or not. However, before you hand over any accounts or anything else to Kage...consider that he may be on here posting that he got hacked when he didn't to scam you.

I'm not saying he is, but think about it...

I don't believe this. I don't believe Kage got scammed. I believe Kage is trying to scam anyone dumb enough to feel sorry for him.

You have been warned.

So, I'm not an SPer, but a few friends of mine recently got hacked. The items can't be recovered, I'm afraid, but the account can. Just requires you to demonstrate payment history. These are the steps.

First, ask a GM to lock your account.

Second, follow these instructions:

This link http://ea.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/member_services_form.php will allow you to contact Account Support so they can restore proper ownership of the account.

QUESTION
What should I do if my Ultima Online account has been hacked?

ANSWER
If your password is not working, the first thing to check is your Caps Lock key. Passwords are case sensitive, so if your Caps Lock is on, toggle it off and try logging in again. If you are certain that you are typing your account name and password correctly, make sure your account is active by visiting the Ultima Online Account Management Site and attempting to login in there. In order to get rid of the hacker's virus and regain control of your account, please follow this procedure:

Immediately contact our Account Support department and let us know your account has been hacked. Electronic Arts recognizes the person who has most recently paid for the account, and whose payment method has been on the account for at least one billing cycle (30 days) as having rightful access. The only exception to this rule is if an account has been transferred using the Account Access Transfer Program.

Scan your entire system for viruses. If you have McAfee or Norton's Symantec anti-virus programs, you should be able to update your .dat or definition files to detect any infection. Both of these will detect Back Orifice, NetBUS, SubSeven, and a variety of other malicious programs. These viruses - also known as "Trojan Horse viruses" - allow someone to get inside your system without your knowledge. Removing the virus is your first and most important step to preventing this from happening to you again. Another virus detection program is The Cleaner located at http://www.moosoft.com. This program will detect and remove trojan viruses. Thanks to the good folks at Symantec Security, we have included a link that has detailed information and FAQs about the Internet and Internet security. The page also contains guides to various dangers on the Internet, glossary of hacking terms, and an online Security Check to test your vulnerability on the Internet. We highly recommend becoming familiar with some of the information as well as some of the solutions that are presented. http://www.symantec.com/securitycheck/ Electronic Arts is committed to assisting hacked account cases as much as possible.

Please do not page Game Masters or contact our billing staff with information about a suspected hacker, or to tell them who hacked your account. To email a report of this to our Account Administration team, click here. You will be served with a form that should be filled out in its entirety. Please be sure to include any additional information that you think will help the Account Services team resolve the issue. You can include additional details like your ICQ numbers, player names as well as any other pertinent information. A Game Master is able block your account for you if you feel it has been hacked, but Game Master's do not investigate the hacking of your personal computer or Ultima Online account and cannot tell you who has accessed your account.

However, because Electronic Arts has not technically been hacked or broken into, it is not a crime on which we can press charges. But we will help you as a victim in bringing those who engage in such acts to justice. We strongly urge any individual who has been hacked to contact your local authorities and/or local District Attorney so that this person can be held responsible for their actions. Hacking is a crime, and if you have had your system or account genuinely hacked, you are the victim of such a crime. By filing a report, the authorities will attempt to prosecute individuals who decide to engage in this act. When investigating the matter, the authorities will need evidence that the hacker accessed your account. This is where we come in. By faxing the Account Administration department at 650-628-1360 and asking for the Internet Protocol logins of the accounts, we will immediately return the proper documentation back to them, as well as any other pertinent information needed. This information can only be discussed with the proper authorities - in all other cases the information is private and will be held confidential. If there are any additional questions or concerns regarding a hacked account, please check the Account Administration website at http://eamembers.custhelp.com and we will assist you in every way that we can.
My friends were able to get their accounts back. They were looted dry, but they still had their scrolled characters and castles. Good luck. :(

As far as I see it, the way it is described someone called EA, impersonated you, and took your swag. EA being a large company probably has these call logs, and maybe even the phone number that called. I would contact the local police department.

Good catch, can't say I remember seeing ANYBODY use the "." with the EA initials before. Then all the sudden they show up twice in the same thread?
