Codm Hackers
Marketta Carucci
Good day, I want to make a complaint. I have been playing call of duty mobile since 2019 and unfortunately for me last year I got scammed by a cod point vendor and he linked his Apple ID into my codm account. Ever since he has made my life a living **** and I am thinking of deleting my codm account at this point, it saddens me because I have a lot of guns and characters which cost a fortune and am not ready to lose it yet. Please Apple my question is how do I remove this Scammers Apple ID and log my current Id into it?
To clarify, have you spoken to Call of Duty support about the issue? Apple Support may be able to assist with safeguarding your Apple ID, such as changing your password or remove a device signed into your Apple ID. However, if this is also on the COD servers, they'll need to step in as well.
After that, we'd also recommend checking what devices are signed into your Apple ID, and remove any you don't recognize. See both the "Find where you're signed in" and "Remove a device from the list" sections of the resource below for information on how to check this.
Should you have further questions specifically about your Apple account, feel free to follow up. If you have done all of this and the issue persists however, you'll likely need to contact COD support.
Years of bad advice about passwords has made it feel like the only strong passwords are those that we can't remember. This couldn't be more wrong - the best passwords can actually be the easiest to remember! You can even use a password manager to do all the hard work for you.
Below are lots of ideas for how to create a strong password that you won't forget. Some may appeal more than others but at least one should work for you - ideas 7 to 12 even make use of your existing password.
Your best password is also one that is easy to remember. That might seem tricky if it has to be long and random, but in actual fact the strongest of passwords can be very easy to remember. That's what all the ideas further down this page are about!
Even better though, why not eliminate the hassle of passwords entirely and use a password manager instead? These tools create and remember your passwords for you - easy! They can even log you into websites automatically.
Keyboard patterns feature heavily along with names, popular hobbies (such as football), and "witty" passwords such as trustno1. You can test how unique your password really is on the fantastic website HaveIBeenPwned? - you might be surprised!
One popular "trick" many of us have used is to take a regular word and substitute the letters for numbers and/or symbols, such as f00tb@11. Unfortunately this is almost as bad as just football itself - hackers know these tricks and try them all (they're able to test thousands of combinations a second!). Adding a number to the end of a word, or an exclamation mark, are also equally ineffective.
And just to make it harder (because it's not hard enough already?!), remember that you should use a different password for every website and account you use. This is because if one website you use gets hacked, then the attackers will have your login details to try elsewhere.
If you'd struggle to remember a random sequence of words then how about a phrase instead? This should be fairly long in order to make it difficult to guess, but phrases can make extremely good passwords as long as they're not obvious or common.
You should never re-use the same password across different websites; if hackers break into one website they'll have your password for them all. Create one password, then learn how to make it unique between websites.
Using patterns of letters from the keyboard, such as asdfghjkl or qwerty, is a bad idea as these are very common & easily guessed by hackers. But there are still ways of using the keyboard to good effect.
How about taking your current password and splitting it up into chunks of letters with a couple of spaces in there? If your password was "Bristol98" you could make it "Bri sto l98" by adding a space every 3rd character.
If your password is too short or easy to crack then one of the easiest ways to strengthen it is to simply repeat it. Using our previous example of "Sarah1974", we could instead have the password "Sarah1974Sarah1974".
When you use symbols you should avoid the common trick of substituting letters for visually similar numbers or symbols, such as an @ for an a, or the number 1 for the letter l (such as M@nch3st3rUn1t3d). Hackers are very familiar with these tricks and will try them all.
These can't always be relied on to give accurate results though - they rarely check how predictable a password is, only it's length & the character types used. P@ssword1 is obviously poor yet many tools still rate it as "Excellent"; likewise for M@nch3st3rUn1t3d.
One superb way of checking your password strength is to use the website Have I Been Pwned?. This is a great tool, created and run by the security researcher Troy Hunt, that compares your password with hundreds of millions of others gathered from various data breaches to see how unique it is. You might be surprised at how common your "unique" idea of a password is!
Once you have a secure password, you should try to make it unique on each website. You don't have to remember lots of different passwords though - see our tips on the next page for ideas to make your password unique.
Hi there,
On last Monday, I received an email that my payment of almost $6000 is being processed to bank which got me shocked because I didn't do that. I checked my account real quick and saw that some Japan based bank was added into my payment methods which didn't belong to me. I contacted Upwork support on urgent basis while payment was in processing and asked them to block that payment. While they were calming me down instead of blocking that payment, I got another email that payment has been processed, on that, I shared the screenshot with them and requested them again to block the activity.
Upon that, they blocked my complete account and told me that they'll get back to me shortly. Fast forward to Tuesday, I receive their mail to verify myself by providing documents, I did. Got next email after 40 hours of that verification email with same requirements, so I provided my details again. Now on thursday they activated my account again but no payment. Emailed them again and got response by Friday that they'll be having meeting with me over Google Meet. Had meeting with them but it also was about verifying myself which I did again. But still no update on Payment Reversal.
And today I got their email that payment cannot be reversed and some excuses along with that. My question to Upwork is why do you write "IF YOU DO NOT AUTHERISE THIS REQUEST PLEASE CONTACT US" when you can do nothing about it? Those $6000 were my hard earned money which I earned from working day and night. I want that back. Please help me!!
I'm sorry to hear about the bad experience you've had and the inconvenience this has caused you.
I checked your account and I can see that you're communicating with our team directly on your ticket. Feel free to follow up directly there with any additional information or questions you may have and our team will assist you further. Thank you.
Also, your Upwork account wasn't hacked, strictly speaking, someone got your log-in details somehow, via you entering them on a phishing page or because it was actually the associated email that was hacked. That should be your first step - securing your email
I can agree on the phishing part but I can assure that my email was and is completely secure.
And was you mentioned that they write that line at the end of email. Then why did they not block the payment when I contacted them immediately about it.
They likely tried but were unsuccessful. I remember I asked them to reverse a payment to Payoneer like within 10 minutes of issuing it because Payoneer was going through some legal troubles, and they were unable to block it. It's not the case that if you tell them quick enough it's guaranteed that they can block it. I truly think your best bet is tracking down where the money went to, who is the owner of the bank account. Who knows, maybe the person who stole the money is not a stranger, but someone that could access your computer / phone. Try to get as much information as you can. Let us know if you are somehow able to get the funds back!
Hi Deborah, I got 70,80 emails as per attached image. I couldn't see the one which was actually about that payment method is added.
I already mentioned that to Upwork support. At the same time, my concern is, I asked them to stop the payment before it got processed. So, what happened there? Why did they mention in their email that we can contact them in case we don't autherise the payment? **Edited for Community Guidelines**
A payment reversal may no longer be an option and it is possible that halting the payment was not an option by the time you made contact. None of us have access to the exact timeline or facts. If you want redress, your next step would be to get those facts. I don't know how you should go about doing that. I would be very upset to lose $6000. But, the cost of hiring someone to help you reclaim it may be too high for you to do anything. That is a bad situation for sure.
Can you continue to communicate with Upwork to get more details about whether they are taking additional action against whomever withdrew the funds and what those actions are? That would be the next step in the fact gathering process.
