Accidentally input my info into a spin-off

[fantolay]

website. It was a twitter spinoff and I got a text message from them with one of those shrtened twitter links. I looked at the address bar to make sure it was correct, but on my phone I didn't notice the v's instead of w.

So what can I expect to happen now? I gave my email and pw that I use for all accounts.

was it twatter.com ?

pw that I use for all accounts

 

[fantolay]

I said that for simplicity's sake. I use the pw for a couple of accounts. But when trying to login via the link, forgot what my twitter pw was so I tried entering a few diff passwords that I use. So the dude has the email I use to register with sutff and a few of the pw's i use. For all intensive purposes he has my shit.

Question: is this just phishing so they can use my twitter and spam my whole contact list? OR are they going to try to find my accounts elsewhere and get my cc info?

There's nothing you can do. Nothing. They have your identity and you're going to be spending the next 20 years repairing the damage.

Maybe next time you'll think twice before using Twitter.

 

[fantolay]

freaking twitter man.

I don't even use it too. That is why I was like shit I have a message there? Might as well log in and see how many messages I've missed.

Edit: I think I've been able to do some damage control and change the pw on all of the accounts that I can remember having, as well as my emails pw and of course the twitter pw. There is no way they could figure out my shit as fast as I changed it.

expect to be picked up by the authorities. You have now committed several crimes punishable by death.

The fact that you didn't do it will bring you little comfort.

 

[Soundmanred]

Those damn intensive purposes!

Those damn intensive purposes!

lol

His intent was to sound sophisticated.

If you changed all of your passwords, you will be fine.
If they had already gotten into your email and changed the password, you would be screwed.

 

[FoBoT]

change your password on all your accounts

Those damn intensive purposes!

That is one of my favorite mistaken phrases. I also really like "another words" instead of "in other words"

Can you think of any others?

I would include "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" but I know there's some debate about that one.

I would include "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" but I know there's some debate about that one.

What debate could there possibly be about those two phrases? Maybe like misunderstanding what the words mean?

From those two statements, one means you do care and could care less if you wanted to and one means you couldn't care less even if you tried to.



One of my favorite misinterpretations of words is not understanding contractions and thinking a contraction like "should've" means "should of". Of course, this simply comes from complete ignorance of the English language and/or not paying a lick of attention while in school.


Then there's "ITS" vs. "IT'S". The misuse of these two words just slays me. And then there's the misuse of "THEN" vs. "THAN". It seems very few truly understand there is a difference between the comparison word---THAN---and the word that represents time/even sequences---THEN.


For example, the proper use of than-----


"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me THAN a frontal lobotomy."




The proper use of then-----




"We ate dinner THEN went to a movie."







Not hard or exactly rocket science, but most seem not to understand the difference.
