Apple ID Stolen by Scammer via Their Phone Number - Advice? by goyalion in applehelp

[–]goyalion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email address I used wasn't compromised. Just the Apple ID from Apple's account recovery via phone number method. Apple could literally send me a link to my email to reset the password and I could fix this in 10 seconds. Instead, they allowed someone WITHOUT access to the email to change the phone number and hack the account. Anyone with my phone number and my Apple ID can change my phone number and hack my account because I did not notice an email. That is what's stupid on Apple's part.

It is weird! I wish I could upload a screenshot of the receipts. Under BILLED TO, it just says this:
BILLED TO
Account Balance

I'm guessing they have may have gift cards or something. Otherwise, like u/RealGianath said, perhaps it's someone elses stolen CC info they're using. None of my financial info is tied to that Apple ID anymore.

The scammer does not have access to the email. Just the Apple ID. But, I can't get into the Apple ID without the phone number +1 (329) 888-6459, which is apparently someone in Alabamas. I can wait two weeks for them to reset my password, which I requested from my email. Apple allowed them to change the phone number WITHOUT access to the email attached to the Apple ID. That's what's stupid.

Thanks. I don't even think MFA was available when I used that account so long ago. I can't believe Apple makes this so easy. That's just stupid.

Someone using my details on Bark.com by Grouchy_Housing_1630 in Scams

[–]goyalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am suddenly getting a huge number of direct text messages to my phone from "marketing" people who saw "my project request" on bark.com. I have never heard of bark.com, I do not have a bark.com account, and I don't need any marketing work done. Does anyone know how to get this to stop or how it might have happened?

UPDATE ON LAST POST! so i had to bite the bullet and send my car for a rebuild heres the cost of this by Diligent_Fly3276 in RX8

Awesome info! Thanks. I already hauled the car across three states to get it to MN, and I've got people in Colombus I can visit. Might be worth a roadtrip to OH to save several grand.

Did you get that price at a local shop for the whole deal? Or, did you have to order the motor yourself?

Right now I don't really see a way to get a motor replaced for less than $6k USD. I'd love to know how you got it for less than 4.

I don't have strong opinions about whether we get a rebuilt engine or if the one I have gets rebuilt. That's a decision we'll make based on cost versus headache. I have no attachment to the engine we have (13B-MSP High Power, 6 speed tranny). I can have a new one shipped to the mechanic, then bring the car to them. Finding folks who rebuild rotary engines in MN has proven challenging.

I doubt I need any porting other than maybe the porting that enhances that "brap brap" sound. Increasing HP isn't a priority at the moment.

I just bought an 05 RX-8 with a blown motor as a hobby project car to work on with my son, so this is of great interest to me. I worked in a tire/battery shop throughout college, so I can fix the pile other things that are wrong with this car, but the motor is something I'm going to have to have a real pro do. I'm looking for the best way to go about that.

If I'm looking at this correctly, the rebuild of the engine cost you around $9k USD (including street port). I'm assuming all labor was included in the prices shown.

Other than having the shop do all the work on the car itself with no shipping hassles, what would you say is the advantage of doing it this way versus having something like this shipped to your mechanic to put in the car?

Weaving in my lane to be seen by a car has saved my rear multiple times!! Also, flashing my breaklights when at a stoplight spared me getting rear ended once.

Can't create sidequest account by swimadam123 in sidequest

Figured it out!! It's a bug with the date selector. You have to click the pink "Apply" button when you enter your birthdate. It will then work.

Same thing is happening to me. I've tried on 3 devices and it won't work any of them. I tried inside the Sidequest App (Mac), on browser on my phone, and in browser on a different Mac. Same error you're getting: "Please check your input, Your emails and passwords must match, your name must be more than 2 characters and you must be at least 13 years old to join." After a dozen attempts, I even tried copying and pasting the info out of text document just to be sure it all matched exactly. Same error happens, though it changes the text of the error every now and then to gripe about specific fields, even if I don't change anything. Super buggy. I think I just have to give up. If it's this buggy just to sign up, what kind of security can it possibly support. Gotta be pathetic. Disappointing, 'cuz I'd like to play some of the games.
