Hi mylot friend, i have 2 gmail account. One id i use it for personal use and to chat with my friends and another for my online earnings to join in many sites. As usual yesterday i logged into my online earnings gmail id and seeing my inbox i was stunned. I nearly got more than 100 sending failed delivery report, i opened that mail and saw it, it was delivery failed report to many ids. I saw sent items, some body has sent nearly 500 mails to many people from my gmail id. I have never sent those mails to anyone and i dont know whose mails they were. Immediately i saw the activity page, somebody from Morocco has opened it and sent the mails. So, i changed my new password, after that one else not again opened at all. I not even gave the password of that id to anyone at all. I want know how he had opened my account and sent it whether through any software, as my password was also the usual password. The person whoever opened did not change it. I also want to know if we can complain about it to anybody, Google or whatever to take action against them. Has it anything happen like this to you guys?

Better install malwarebytes and scan your PC because you may have a nasty program like a keylogger or something else.I don`t know how that guy has got your e-mail password but if your computer is infected then he can get the new password too. And bookmark the right adresses and always use the bookmarks to login.This way you are sure you won`t get fooled by any phishing website.

I don't normally bookmark the sites but i choose it from the drop down list by just typing first few letters of the site.

It never happened to me. I was so surprised to hear that and thankfully you have discovered it, otherwise he might get your important accounts under that gmail id.

I believe your Gmail account just been hacked. The hacker put key logger software on your system. So even you change your password, that bas*!#d still can find your new password if you not removed their key logger. But sorry I can't give you address to anti key logger software (I forgot the site name) but if type keyword "anti key logger" on your search engine, you will find it. Happy lotters
