Someone else opened an skype account using mi emai...

Hello, I was just trying to setup skype for the first time and somehow it endep up saying that my email was registered already, I used the forgot password option and it email me some info in hebrew (I Know thta another guy gave my adress to some of his Israel friends since I started receiving emails from them a while ago), by using the gmail translate feature I realized that they already have an account name (yaelco20) which I hate and don't want to keep... questions are: 1-how's that even possible fro someone to sabotage my capability to use my own email to setup an Skype account if they couldnt confirm the account creation since they were never able to logon to my email. 2-Given this case, is it possible to get that username resetted somehow, since honestly its not an user fault case, but it is indeed a flaw in your security confirmation procedures.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. I think that is a possible weakness of the Skype verification system, anyone can create an account and register any email address without the need to verifying that email address.
2. Skype allow to have more than one account to be associated with one email address. In your case, you can send an email to [email protected], to report that account and to request to unlink your email address from it.

Someone else opened an itunes account with my email address

I attempted to change my email address on my itunes account and discovered that my current email address was already in use. I thought I must have registered it at some point and forgotten the password so I did the password reset. When I logged in, I discovered the account actually belonged to someone else.So obviously someone had the email address before I did and used it to open an itunes account that has never been updated. Since I've had the address for quite awhile, I can only assume that person does not use itunes anymore. I'd still like to update my account but can find no way to either close the other person's account or notify that person that they need to update their account. My other concern is that when I do update the account with my current email address, I worry that the person who previously had the address will decide to use itunes again and will end up in my account.
What do I do?
Thanks!

I see, oh you should definately take Carolyn's advice. I've needed to talk to an Account Security Rep a few times, and even though you may need to start the process online, they will talk to you on the phone in a case like this, as it's just too difficult to type out all of the complicated but critical details.
Regards

First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

Firefox crashes when I open my facebook account. But when someone else opens his/her account on my laptop, then the crash never happens..

I tried opening my facebook account but nothing helped....I am able to open other websites....and my friends are able to view their facebook account on my laptop....but i dont know whenever i try opening my account, firefox crashes in between

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Someone else is creating skype accounts with my em...

I have had a particular skype account attached to my email address for years. Today, I went to do a password reset (it's been about 6 months since I used skype much and I had forgotten what password I set). When I got the reset email, I did not recognize the username it gave me!
Confused, I tried my other email addresses, thinking maybe I had just forgotten the email address I used at the time. After finally contacting support, they pointed out that there are several skype accounts attached to my email address.
After doing some research into it, I discovered that Skype doesn't verify that you have access to a particular email address before letting you set it as the email address for your skype account.
THIS IS A HUGE SECURITY PROBLEM! I am astounded that Skype has missed this glaring hole in their security. Just to show Skype what a problem it is, I have done the password reset on all the accounts which are NOT mine, and set the primary email address to [edited for privacy]- maybe that will help them see why this is a problem.

Somehow someone from Saudi Arabia opened an account with my e-mail address. I am located in the United States and have no idea who this person is. I was attempting to open a new account and my e-mail had already been used. I would like to know how this could happen and why someone else has the ability to use my e-mail on Skype.

using the email address in question, send an email to [email protected] to request to unlink your email address from that unauthorized account.

I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gadient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embed

Hello,
I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gradient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embedded image. I cannot get rid of it and it keeps reproducing. WHAT is it and why can't I delete it?
Thanks for any help. Ingrid

Hello, yes it is reproducing over and over. I look in the original artwork and there are 28. I did not save over the original art but “save as”. Worked on the new file for a while and now there are 47!. I copied all the content to a new blank, all colors removed, file and there they were. If I click on them can’t relink, won’t show a bounding box, no frame in wire-frame, no stray points. they are ghosts. Here is an image, to give a better visual of how they look in links panel. Any ideas? Thanks, Ingrid

How is it that so many of our iCloud accounts are being hacked into? My was and scam messages were sent to a lot of people. I even received one from someone else's hacked iCloud account.

How is it that so many of our iCloud accounts are being hacked into? Mine was and scam messages were sent to a lot of people. I even received one from someone else's hacked iCloud account.

All it takes is for one computer to be infected by a virus (obviously a PC) that sends all its contacts to the hacker's server, and then all these contacts are used as recipients to scam emails. Hackers even post stolen contacts on the web for others to use.

Someone else has my skype landline number

I bought a skype landline number for my business and I occasionaly get calls on it . Most people use my mobile number or email. Every now and again I will get a phonecall with someone asking for a totally different company. At first I thought that this was just a mix up as it didnt happen very often but today I got the name of the website the person got the number from and it is the EXACT SAME landline number as my own! Ive searched the forums and tried to find a was to contact skype to no avail.
Anyone know how to fix this? I want to know where the problem lies before contacting this other company.
Thanks Vanessa

imo, only two possibilities are likely
either someone else had your Skype Number IN THE PAST (this is to be expected, and it is commonplace for carriers to delay re-cycling a number), or the website has a simple 'typo'
there's not much Skype can do -- you can cancel your Skype Number and get another one if you wish, but I'd suggest you start by contacting the webmaster of the site that is publishing your number

If I remove my nano sim card can someone else put thiers in and use the phone

If I remove my nano sim car can someone else put theirs in and use the phone

If the SIM card is from the same carrier there shouldn't be a problem using it in the phone.

I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?

I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?

No, manufacturers generally do not track people's stolen property. The shuffle has no means to connect to the Internet so you can't track it yourself. Thankfully it's only $49.

A warning popped up on my ipod touch saying someone else has accessed my account from another device

Change your password.

Someone is sharing my skype account

Someone has put my skype account on some site and now I continuously get contact adds that I dont want... WHAT DO I DO?!??!

pls helpp

Can I see if someone else has accessed my account?

Im writing this out for a second time because I lost the first one. Long story short I have a friend who knows loadsof my passwords including skype, I am cool with it and I dont really want to change them. But I am kind of paranoid about them accessing my messages like skype and email and facebook and wanted to know if skype tells you if someone else has logged into your account from a different IP or something or if someone is logged in at the same time as you on another computer and sending messages and stuff. Like Facebook tells you when you log in if someone has been on your account from another ip address.
Thank you.

Hi, RoHamster, and welcome to the Community,
To check if your Skype account is signed on simultaneously on another device (where, not who is using your account), type this chat command in any open instant message chat:
/showplaces
Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
To force a sign-out, type this chat command:
/remotelogout
Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
From a safety and security standpoint, I would strongly recommend you reconsider allowing anyone to have a list of your account passwords. I recommend you start changing all of them, and the sooner, the better.
Regards,
Elaine

CAn two different skype account use the same skype...

If I buy a skype number thru my account , when someone calls, can it ring in my husband´s and my device or do I need a different skype number for each skype account?

Use port range Triggering instead of Port forwarding. When you use port triggering then those ports will be opened for the entire local network.
