just been trying to login , but could'nt as someone else was trying to, using my username apparently, according to the email i recieved from webmaster at scoobynet.

Have had to wait 15 mins before i could try again, as i was told you get 5 chances. i only tried once to start off with...
anyways, eventually got logged on, but my concern is who, and why is someone else trying to login on my account.

i'm not to hot on computers, but the message from scoobynet was the person trying this on, had an IP address of 195.93.21.34

now thats double dutch to me, have'nt a clue what it means, and if anything, what use is it to me.

whats your thoughts guys, as this aint happened before.

 

To put your mind at rest (or otherwise) visit Find My IP Address - Lookup and see if it comes up with the same address - 195.93.21.34. If it does there's a pretty good chance that it was your machine playing up and not anyone trying to hack your account.

 

thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

 

just checked, and my IP address is'nt that one thats been trying to login to my account.
can i report it or do anything about it ?

 

Are you on AOL - that address looks like an UK AOL address. I've little doubt that it could probably be traced IF you had access to AOL's records but TBH I wouldn't worry about it too much, could be a mate attempting a wind up of some sort.

 

ok mate, thanks again for the advice.

cheers.
