May 3, 2010: My client, Pokefreak13388 had attempted to log into her account to no avail. Was able to get on just fine May 2, 2010. The cause was of a hacking that had taken place without her knowing how or knowing when.

A similar case to this would be Katia 13. Was unable to log in even though she had typed everything in correctly.

Just looking at this ladies and gentlemen makes me sick. I mean, how low can these hackers go? Gaia should do something about the situation big time honestly. =T But anyway:

The possible lead that I had found for this case was a forum that my client had not posted at all. Whoever the user is, they had taken complete control over the account, changing the avi on my client and also making some of her belongings go missing. There is also the fact that the real pokefreak doesn't know if she still has her belongings on that account or not. I had taken this case on May 3, the day she had called me up distressed about all of this. This was also the date that the real pokefreak had tried logging in.

The real pokefreak had told me that she had sent a hacking report and must wait 2 to 3 days for a response at most. The reason how I know that the hacker had taken control of my client's account is the change in the login date (the real pokefreak's login date was May 2) and the time that the person had logged in which was the time that pokefreak had gone to bed on the 3rd. The time was approx. 9:28pm. Just to notify everybody: the real Pokefreak did not post the forum: All your G buckles 25k pure each right now. That was the faker that had done that.

That's all I have for right now. I will post more in the updates section.

we came acrost the same as well. but in a chat in a house. we went blank and didnt realize to click the button to report. gaia got back to us and instructed us to do if it happens again. because this will give them a trace to track them.
i would think by now they should have got a trace from one hacker or another. but seems to be the problem persists.
