    This is how someone tried to hack me,i made this so people can see the methods they use to steal ur acc.

    So the other day i made a post that i am selling my MC acc and that i am going first.I found a buyer,his steam name was Bear! but he probably changed it.So he messaged me that he will use paypal to pay me 50 bucks (i have a few ranks) and i gave him the email pass and sq cuz he wasn't at home to try it out.So he said he would use it when he comes home.I asked when will he come home cause i need to go somewhere the next day.He asked me what time and what timezone.I said 10 o clock.I knew something was fishy,since he blocked me on steam and asked me for the timezone.SO i extended my trip 2 more hours.The next day,i got 2 emails,that my acc was changed.Thank god its a 24 h link that changes the email and pass back if you didin't change it.

    So if anyone is selling their acc,here are some tips:
    -If they say they can't change anything if they don't have ur email,don't trust them,they can change everything with the sq.
    -They will probs ask you if you are going somewhere so he can attack when you are not home,since its a 24h link.
    -Trick anyone buying ur acc saying you will leave for 2-3 days,and check is they would do something fishy.

    Overall don't go too fast,scammers are smart.

    I mean handing over your account information isn't really getting hacked...

    It's more social engineering than hacking but it's scary nevertheless.
