I juz read this Warning Message from Chess.com .

I've heard of 1 such case recently but I can't figure out why Anyone would want to log into our Chess.com Account ?

I mean What can they gain by doing that ?

They would force you to spend money on memberships and then change your username or password so you couldn't get in.

email is a big part of it, also aren't these accounts somehow tied to facebook too?

Now I know how someone hacked into my Facebook account. I was using the same password.  Like W said: "Fool me once.......won't get fooled again".

However, they can't charge it onto your credit card. It would have to be charged onto their credit account.

Please remember guys, no one will ever ask you for your password if they are genuine staff.

Playing a game just now and getting the "I am student, I need money" line in the chat box... time to disable chat I think.

VEARY IMPORTANT ! READ THIS AND ACT NAW !

Protext yur acunt from scams. Scammers will stil yur mony if yu do not enter NAW the WhatAMark protection scheme !

Send immediatly your accunt pseudo and password to fisheronthenet@enlarge.your.african.heritage.com BEFOR IT IZ TO LATE !

WhatAMark protection scheme is free for primium members, but we charge a symbolic $0.01 to non-primium members (for all the duration of yur accunt). Think of it, is the security of yur personal data worth $0.01 ? Pliz send with yur accunt details yur credit card number and pictogram at fisheronthenet@enlarge.your.african.heritage.com .

Remember - ACT NAW BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND YU GET SCAMMED !

 

Sincerely,

Bill Gates, from chezz.com staff.
