Its a new one to me, they somehow logged on using my user name, made for sale post, received and sent messages in my pm box BUT I can still logon. Id think if they logged on here under my user name somehow, I wouldnt be able to login anymore because theyd change my password, IDK, but my biggest concern is someone will send whoever it is money and get scammed.

Still have that 28 bravo for sale?? hahahaha

In all seriousness...I wish all these people that do things like this would just meet a horrific demise....if they put half the effort into actually working at a real job instead of just trying to get something for nothing they would probably have pretty good lives.

Although on the flip side....with all the bot activity in the world today who's to say it's even real people doing it anymore?? Dumb world we live in now.

Maybe someone guessed/hacked your password but didn't change it??

Had same thing happen to my email a few years back. Changed password and the weird activity stopped.
