email me asap, and I will give you contact info for my handler at GD and you can call him tomorrow and hopefully he can remedy the situation or hand you over to the right person in security.

email in sig.

good luck.

Taboo... Thanks for the reply!

Everything is back to normal, but what a fucking hassle. I was wondering how he got my info as well, since the login info wasn't anything simp-le. I've run multiple scans, have a keylogger scan running on my Spysweeper, a firewall and I scan for viruses daily via Spysweeper and Norton.

Oh wel... Lesson learned and I have access to a personal acct rep now when I need one.

Cheers!
