on 12/18 I re subbed for another 6 months and now they terminate my account. does anyone know if it would be too late to call my bank and tell them to reverse this charge?
no, it’s not possible. if your account was terminated from RS, it’s obviously because you broke their ToS in some way shape or form… and that’s your punishment. for example, if they found out you were hosting /copyrighted material on your account, it’d be terminated.
ooooo 6months, thats a bad one unlucky, i dont think there is anything u can do seeing as you broke their rules
Should you wish to contest our decision
They got you by the balls.
& Yeah i think it’s too late.
It’s probably fake! Your account has been stolen by hackers and they are attempting to stop you retrieving it. It’s happened many times before, they have just changed their email a bit.
Did you install any software from this forum very recently? Do you store your passwords in your browser?
Don’t you think it’s a bit strange how your account has been closed AFTER extending it to 6 months? Those hackers love long RS accounts.
Email/Phone RS and tell them the story, see if they can sort anything out.
OH and if its been hacked, i’d change all your passwords just to be safe.
Ye you have been Phished.
You been phissed, look at headers of email and see where its coming from. You will see its not from RS. Scan for keylogger ASAP.
I just called them told them what happened and the representative confirmed that someone did change the password and email. The rep then said he was going to change the password and reset the email to mine and I’d receive an email containing the password within 5 minutes. I probably wouldn’t have called them without yall saying Ive probably been phished so thanks!
It’s fake dude. Ignore it. Most important, Don’t click on any links in that email. If you did, your account may already be spread all over East Asia.
–
Do as Jeebus said or you’ll get keylogged again & lose it again.
Chances are they have your email details so they might get the account back again.
You didn’t answer whether you store your passwords in your browser! NEVER DO IT! Use a good password manager such as Keepass with KeeFox if you use Firefox or Chrome is supposed to work with it. It makes your passwords safer from Malware. Delete all your browser passwords after storing them in Keepass via KeeFox.

^^Thanks marvel, I haven;t realized how risky storing them on firefox until now.
EDIT – I opened the signons3.txt And the passwords seem to be encrypted. How can hackers get those passwords through the encryption?
Yeah I just extended my account and I got this message 2 days later! Possibly fake then

They can get them without any difficulty, the encryption only prevents visually reading the passwords it doesn’t prevent them from being recovered. I have seen Malware password stealers accessing the signons3.txt file among other files such as cookies. Cookies are vulnerable too as they can be used to login.
