AvaValentina1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can' t believe that things happen... Somebody enter my account and disturbing my privacy, it should be punished, but not, I was left my money. But my case is closed, archived.. How I could believe in future? Unauthorized access could be allowed to everybody.I have done my utmost in loosing much time, money and attention and I finally I understood that all has in vain. I am deeply regret ...

Syo Emerald Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 In almost all cases its the account holders fault that someone could log into their account. Thats not just happening out of the blue. You either gave someone your login information or you fell for a phishing attempt and entered your information somewhere, where you shouldn't.

AvaValentina1 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's what I thought, it's my fault that I'm robbed. The problem is, nobody except me, knows my password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change your login information and be more careful in the future. Tell nobody your login details (not even people you consider close friends or lovers) and be careful with links people send you. One common practice is to send a fake link to the marketplace in a group and hopeing that at least someone will click it and log in on a page that appears to be the marketplace, but isn't.

irihapeti Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 hi Ava seems like you got hit inworld by one the fake store promotion discount card scams they are really nasty people who are doing this I agree with you also. Is really dissappointing LL should track these scammers down, get the money back and return it not just close your ticket and go: oh! well. to bad. hard times + yes, people reading might go: Theres a big yellow dialog that tells you to be sure before you agree to grant debit permissions but heres the thing. People like Ava, they just shopping inworld spending money buying stuff, then they get a offer from what all intents and purposes appears (even tho it isnt) to be from the shop owner in the shop where they are. Why would Ava suspect thats this is not the case, that there is anything wrong with this ? is so wrong that LL just close Ava's ticket and go: not our problem, and let the thief keep the money eta (even tho it isnt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just go: sorry. feel your pains. oh! well + eta more how many people been scammed over the years ?? heaps and heaps the tragedy is that Ebbe Linden is running all over the public media talking about how they are working really hard to bring about changes to prevent fraud + Ebbe Linden if you read this then you guys need to think about people like Ava. And do something about it how many people over the years been scammed in SL ? probably in the 100,000s. How much money they be ripped for ? probably in the millions and when they do get scammed and ripped they quit. People like Ava, gone People like Ava are not jaded hard core long time SL users like us few who got nothing better to do with our time than login to SL they come, they open their purses and wallets, and get ripped and scammed. and get their tickets closed and told sorry resident to resident dispute, not our problem. Then they quit and take their purses and wallets with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy13 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I am so sorry this happened to you! It happens you accept a notification without know who its from and suddenly they have access to your information, not sure how they do it, but the number one rule is do not provide your password to anyone or if you do make sure you trust them completely. Too many in this world want to take from you and invade your privacy. Change your information and move on from this very bad ordeal. Good luck to you and hope things change for the better and you never experience things like that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Time to go and watch/vote on this JIRA Not that LL should really need to be coerced into increasing the security, it's a pretty darned good practice that responsible organisations take on board. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-5753 Unfortunately status is Triaged, Unassigned = Can't be bothered! Re-read my second paragraph to understand the issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvaValentina1 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I fully agree with comments Alwin Alcott, this is a fact. My question is whether I shall stay here without support. Unfortunately other will comes and will be faced with same problems. What to do with protect accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwin Alcott Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 . What to do with protect accounts? exactly the same in fact as you do in rl don't let your wallet open at counters don't wear your wallet visible ( some take snapshots with the UI on the image ...) don't give everyone access to your wallet, only do manual payments, never let a object do it use a cash master avatar/alt, only put the money you need on the one you play with.(If you nee PIOF remove the paymentmethod after it's added to your profile, it will stay there) don't give your passwords change your passwords weekly use SAFE passwords, not names of pets or phonenumbers...date of birth ..marriage...
