abusive ex hacked my account

[hoxtonbabe]

Hi all,

Long story short my abusive ex has basically hacked into my gmail. Abd has been kinda spying on me?!? And then went in and changed all my gmail details.

When he messaged me out of the blue on Monday going on about whom I’ve been chatting with on a dating site etc I was thinking how is he knowing all this so thought he may have made a fake account and was talking to me under the guise of another man then he started to get too descriptive and saying things that you could only know if you checked my dating messages/account.

Then it dawned on me he must have saw my online dating profile and somehow got in then went on to discover my email address linked to it etc. My passwords are usually stored on my phone via my fingerprint and this particular email account was created after we broke up ( but clearly wasn’t the strongest of passwords)so not a case of him seeing it during our relationship.

When I tried to log into my gmail and the password wasn’t accepted I did the recovery thing only for the number stored to not be any of mine and the recovery email not being mine! I’m
Now trying to delete all my accounts dating one and gmail one and I can’t because he’s changed everything. I’ve tried looking for a contact email to gmail but to no avail.

He’s blocked and The police are coming on Friday as he’s taking things too far now as he’s also been sending racist messages etc but in the meantime has anyone else gone through this and how did you get back into your account etc ( if at all) as I really need to delete these accounts

I've not been through this but I am very sorry it is happening to you.

Good luck for Friday. Make sure you tell the police everything and keep safe.

Sorry this is happening to you.

Hi Hoxton
Mine didn’t change gmail but clearly been in. Blocked bf etc. I went to IT at work and asked on geek board here- advice is wipe phone back to factory settings. Change all passwords. Ensure I cloud separate- that’s how mine got in. I turned off all location trackers though at the weekend I got lost, then realized I couldn’t use phone. Hope you’re ok as I was really unnerved. Also I felt embarrassed but realized I needed to tell some people Incase escalated. I didn’t go to the police but yours worse than mine. I think maybe contact mail and dating company and report accounts ASAP.
Sending hugs 🤗

Thanks guys. I can’t change the gmail as the security questions aren’t matching etc so it’s just throwing me out so no amount of factory settings will change this as it will still ask for my password and when I put this in it will come back as incorrect etc..

I have managed to change the dating site one and only keeping it live for now so the police can look at it when they come once they do their bit tomorrow then I will delete it.

The whole thing is just beyond anything I can comprehend. I was happily moving on, getting to that point where I didn’t even think about him unless I saw someone or something very specific and he would pop into my head but the main raw hurt had gone, then he comes and does this?!?! He’s back with his ex by the looks of it as he has a photo of her and his daughter on his profile pic which he never does even before we got together, during or after, so why pick on me when you are seeing someone else anyway?!? I simply can’t get my head around that

I don't have anything else to add as you're already going to the police but I went through this. Also hacked all my social media posting nude photos of me on there etc. Was probably the worst time of my life, I am sending my love and support to you.

This is what my now ex did to me while we were together. He went through anything that was mine, diary, post, my mobile, laptop, tablet and I only found out when I noticed my resent opens files in word, it’s scary. He lied when I confronted him or until I showed him proof. Why they do this is behind me

Have you tried the account recovery page? Here's the link in case you haven't see in accounts.google.com/signin/recovery

In terms of the Gmail account, you're probably fucked. If someone is tech savvy enough to change all the security and recovery info, you've basically had it.

Do you have a laptop or PC you access the internet with? If so, restore that to factory settings as well - strong possibility he's installed a keylogger, as well as any spyware on your phone.

Sorry OP, he';s a cunt. Hope the police can help.

Get it licked so he cant use it either? Basically try to gain access a lot so it locks him out and he has to go through password recovery repeatedly
