It would assist if you told us the hijacked account user name??

Obviously it cannot be Olga, at least not on TRF.

I had enough posts but since I got my account back they erased all my previous posts (which brings me back to 0). My username is still Olgs but I have no history anymore. This is how they do here. Now I cannot post anymore ads.

WHy would I make such a post anyway if it wasn't true??? I just want to warn you guys in case you have been in contact with my hijacker. The TRF mods erased my previous posts I guess to avoid that other people see posts from my hijacked account. Therefore I also don't know what the guy posted as me. Beware that's all I say.

There is no history of a current, former or banned member named Olgs.

I thought "Olgs" was a typo.

Anyway, I guess it hardly matters.

Just a correction from my esteemed counterpart!

Yes, Olga (not Olgs, typo) was a member with a higher post count and was hijacked!
The posts were removed to clear the hijackers postings and some others deleted by forum software.

The account has now been cleared!

Man, I don't know what to think of these account hijackings.

I should change my password, I guess, every once in a while.

The way it happened to me has already been explained here in the Watch out section. I got an email looking like a TRF email, saying I got a PM from a member. The guy was saying something like "I saw your ad, it this the same watch as - link-". then you click on the link, the link doesn't work, you think it's nothing, in the meantime the guy has access to your account, changes your password, and you can't access anymore. Changing password doesn't help guys, just do not click on links that might be fake.

Actually the guy tried to sell some watches through my username : I could still see some PM he sent, that were not erased, and I warned all the people I could, but you never know who else he's been in touch with.
