Advice on getting accounts back.

[rydiu]

If it was a member of their staff, you should get compensation!

Hire a private investigation service...or start a freelance PI service and serve yourself! I'd find out who did it. If what you say is true then its most likely an employee (possibly former employee) of that store. I'd get to the bottom of it.

Computer repair places are shady!

Forgive me for bumping such an old thread, but I wanted to point out that this policy can have its upsides too.

I have a certain acquaintance (workmate), whom I'm not too fond of, who played FFXI all the time. A few months ago, his roommate (a good friend of mine) held a party. My workmate's not really one for parties, so he went out that night. He also, rather naively, left his door unlocked and FFXI character logged in to bazaar. Being the general asshole that I am, I ended up changing his account information (CC number and address and password).

He called them constantly trying to get them to fix it, and they absolutely refused. I think he still tries once a week at least, hoping to get someone who will actually help him. He suspects they have a note on his file to just ignore him now (he confides in me with this information because he doesn't know that I did it).

So, basically, through no fault of his own, he's been completely screwed out of his account. The ironic thing is that he supported that company for something like 3 years, paying them every month. Now his account is sitting in a deactivated limbo, and all they'll do for him is to tell him to call the police.

It's all so very funny.

That's not even remotely funny. I don't care if you were a family memeber, I'd wreck some highly nasty payback on you for that shit if I found out. I hope he does too.

Hardly.

I'm an asshole.

Like that.

Makes me sad how horrible people can be to each other RL.

You would need the current password to do all of this so this story smells fishy
