I have received this a few days ago, I even suggested Giddy/Sacro to give it to me.

The story:
Few weeks ago (I believe 2) I was given a link on MSN by [email protected]
I thought it was legit
I went to it, and saw the thing ask to run (Java Applet)
I did NOT click run, I went straight to sythe and posted about R2pleasant's site being a virus.
However... I received a lot of responses of "That's the wrong r2"
I thought it was the real r2.
It got locked, and I thought nothing of it any longer.


However.. Someone created a msn "[email protected]" (I even posted about him being an impostor[ he must have exported + imported the contact list, since a lot of people kept asking if I was [email protected]])

When I went to the site that I reported about, earlier, it must have still infected me (A 'silent' driveby, or an 'exploit')

He then had access to my computer.
He then proceeded to use my sythe account to pm various people, to trade [email protected] (I believe that is true, but I have no "sent" items of anything, hacker possibly deleted so I would not become aware)
I do not believe anyone has been scammed by that.

"Why is the ip only yours?"
I leave my sythe account logged in, so it doesn't require me to enter my password (I'm lazy, shush)
As well as my msn, saved password.

Hacker was unable to get passwords for either, but he did have my RS (bank pin) and noticed weird ip's on it a few times, thinking it's my friends. I didn't do much, but changed passwords a few times and gave to the same friends.

I told Giddy/Sacro the same things in MSN, and once they thought about it, I even said they can issue a TWC on me.
But I see that was a huge mistake, and is now bugging me :(
People won't even sell me a upgrade without me going first. It's just so sad.


I would love it if you reviewed it and, if possible, removed the TWC?

Thanks a buttload.

Edit:
I have also done many trades on sythe, I currently have over 128 (I got 129, ROAWR) vouches, and I've even been used as a MM quiet a few times; http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1033241

You've just recently received the TwC, so appealing it now wouldn't do you any good.
