Someone somehow social engineered T-Mobile to give them my sidekick account. Sure he deleted all my contacts, pics, email, calender events, and chanaged my username.
But the theif did leave me a bunch of great info (after I reset the account...):
Screen names to various IM services.
100+ phone numbers
Links to his myspace and e46fanatics.com website
And best of all... his password to all this great loot.
Any ideas on what to do with this stuff?
Update: Here is what happened
Funny enough, his dad's name is the same as my name (exactly to the middle inital). Tmobile decided that was close enough to my account when they were looking up sidekick accounts. So they renamed my account and changed the password. Right now the account I have is on two different IMEI's. Tmobile says that they did nothing wrong. I see where there is confusion, as we live in the same geograpical area, same name, same area code. Somehow tmobile dropped their security to allow this to go through. Time to rip tmobile.
Update 2:
Contacted other person, he got some of my emails this morning and knows he deleted data. But now that I see this is a mixup by tmobile, which they admitting to now. Of course, I had to call support twice, as the first guy just insulted me and said I'm a liar and made these changes last night. I posted this after my first call to tmobile, so which got me mad.
It is getting sorted out now. Most likely we both will lose our accounts and just make new ones. Tmobile just can't sort this out. Tmobile did not verify the sidekick account before renaming it.
