I don't even know how to respond to this....

The first step you should take is to reveal the security leak that was used to obtain your data. This could range from accepting a malicious file, to blunt out sharing accounts and everything in-between. Only if you can ensure that once the password and email are changed, there is no new access to this data, there is any sense in actually changing it.

I believe what the OP is trying to articulate is he used a false e-mail address when he made his account, the person in question who is stealing his account info MADE that e-mail, and is sending "Forgot my Password" emails to the e-mail that doesn't actually belong to the owner.

How on earth did you come to that conclusion? I honestly didn't understand his post at all. The info might be easily guessed, or he told someone. I highly doubt an illegal tool like a keylogger was used for something as stupid as this. | |

It sounds like this situation was probably him sharing account info. | |

Don't you have to verify your email with byond though? Decently sure that's a negatory. At least I don't remember doing it back when I made my keys, quite some time ago. | |
You do and always have had to verify your email address by entering a verification code or clicking a link.

Well CAN U DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES it only go to one email addres only one cause [email protected] my old email was changed ... so just make it send to one email [email protected] Possibly [email protected] ethier one would be good thanks you very much i look foward into seeing ur decsicion

Your sign-up email will always remain as a receiving pass recovery email address because of security reasons, such as someone taking over an account then changing the send-to email address.

Except without your original e-mail, you can't reasonably prove that you aren't attempting to hijack the account. And no, begging isn't proof.

This has already been discussed in [link].
Let me summarise that thread for you: Take it to the support form. There's nothing we can do about it. | |
