For Once Instagram Served A Purpose

This is a side by side comparison of my Instragram post on October 16th 2015 when I entered the Rixty/GameStop selfie event to win one of the 5 Scarlight-Blacks. We had to post a selfie with a CF Rixty card in front of the GameStop we purchased it from to be entered in the contest. It is the only Instagram post I have ever made since as anyone can see I am not very photogenic. The other picture was taken just a few minutes ago since I had to search my car for the same shirt and hat I wore that day. So is there some excuse to be given that a hacker went all body snatchers and could be physically impersonating me while also time traveling?

That is a thread where we were raising a fuss over it taking forever to award the SL-B. That is my twitch in the signature. Whoever hacked my account must not have cared about the forum portion. I could go live now on that channel and live stream this with webcam if more proof is needed.

  • Did you send all this proof to support? Asking if you sent it to them maysound like rhetorical question but just wanted to know if the answer you got was positive or negative because most likely you're going to get "send a ticket" from someone higher up and your thread might get closed again. If you can't get it back I guess just do what Boston suggested earlier least you kill two birds with one stone.

    By the way did you share your account or something? I always get worried if it's that easy to get your account hacked because my account isn't great when it comes to security since I don't fully remember what I put years back. Anyways good luck man.
  • if this isn't enough proof, nothing is.
    i really do hope you get your account back.

    and you don't look that bad :)

    I have submitted it and await the inevitable copy & paste auto response. I can't do a chargeback since it has been over 180 days since my last direct paypal to ZP purchase. At this point I have no idea how more identifiable I can be when there is photo proof of the account being mine, but I am sure there will be some excuse.

    Also I did not share my account. I was never able to change the password because I didn't know the email and didn't bother with a ticket. The password was pretty easy since it came from my high school days before I got in the habit of having random passwords generated for every account.
  • I mean it seems you've gone above and beyond to provide additional informations for proof. So I really hope you get it back as well in this case. Sadly if you sent this info in a ticket today, especially later today, then you won't be getting a reply until Monday if not later even. but regardless best of luck.
  • I wonder how can you lose an account without clicking on untrusted links/apps/even cheats.. how do you find scammers that are interested in your cf account ? :)
    good luck getting it back..
  • Battlefield lanyard / Overwatch lanyard. Not same guy, obvious is obvious haha.
    When did anyone have to be photogenic to post on instagram? Post to your heart's content.
    How did you lose the account? Did someone actually guess the password or you go to the fake websites for free zp?

    edit: Didn't know that website was curse filtered.
  • Did you happen to download an AFK bot or something of that sort?

    Your account is in a UK farming clan and I'll let you speculate from there :)

    I'm guessing you got keylogged but good luck getting your account back.

    Maybe the guy who hijacked it put that account into a farming clan?
    If not, that account is long gone, support staff probably have that at the lowest priority.

    Possibly and UK farming clans created those AFK bots soooooooo........ I heard a rumor that there's malware in those programs which is why I stay away from them.
  • I would have no faith left in the support ticket system if you do not get your account back after this proof. Let us all know how it goes.

    I change my mind I would have no hope in CFNA actually caring for their customers period.
  • I support you in your efforts to get your account back if you're honest about everything. But I do feel that Support's strictness is valid in these types of cases. Maybe you sold your account and are now trying to recover it back? Maybe you used an AFK bot or another hack and got keylogged? I think then it's justified to not be able to get your account back that easily. I've seen people do these things in past, so I'm speaking by my experience here. No offense or accusations intended (before someone loses his wits and accuses of accusing). Good luck.
  • Sorry for just responding. Trying to deal with this issue kept me up FAR past the time I usually go to bed. I have always traveled the straight and narrow with my CF account. I have invested way too much money in the account to risk it. Some of you have seen the list of ZP purchases on my paypal from the other thread and will understand I have no temptation for free ZP when I could just buy it on impulse when I want. Also I would never sell my account. It is worth more than anyone would pay and I am very proud of what I have achieved on it. I mean not only for getting one of the rarest guns, but the history like being the first to get the first three assasin badges the day the badge system came out or my Xmas-shovel that I got for the Christmas in July event after spending a lot of money and years trying to get an Xmas weapon and when I finally did it was the one I wanted because the shovel is my favorite melee and has been since the days when it was just the knife, axe, and shovel.

    CrossFire was my first PC game after Age of Empires II and while I moved on to other games great in their own right like Battlefield and Overwatch I always come back to play CF for the things that make it stand out to me like Ghost Mode or Hero Mode and the tremendous weapon selection, but most importantly the history like some of you might know JPurvis for his work in the CF community and the organizing of one of the biggest LAN parties in CF's history. I was the one who got him into CF. Some of you might recognize the clans Final Justice or Smurfs which both don't exist anymore, but at their peak Final Justice was #2 in the clan rankings (before farming became a huge thing) and Smurfs was a well known GM clan.

    These are just tiny slivers of my history and an attempt to convey what that account means to me. That is why I am hell-bent on getting it back and I will exhaust every option. If I have to I will go to my county clerks office and fill out a fast track application to get my passport and I will protest in-person at the Z8/Smilegate offices if I have to.

    You can ask Purvis to help you confirm your ownership to authorities if you're in contact with him. I believe he's in good terms with Z8 management.

    don't shave your face bro..

    I'm not a fan of the whole bald with facial hair look so when I shaved my head I shaved my face as well.
  • Good luck recovering your account, but first attempt on your action must be with support center sendint that recover ticket ...

    On my third ticket already....

    I've pretty much followed ZLee through all the clans we've been in and he's never once hacked or used a bot. The last clan that he was in before his account was taken away was a clan named Bernie2017 or something like that, but the clan was disbanded when the account was taken. I've never had much faith in the support system anyways.
  • Wow, it's Zlee. One of the coolest players I've met in this game. I used to see your Streams and used to play HM with you. I was wondering what happened to you. I think I still have you in my FL, but it says "Seen 2 weeks ago" which means whoever hacked your account deleted me. I really hope you get your account back, in my honest opinion, you have proof that it is you who owns the account.

    Good to see you too! I recently got my upload speed increased so I can stream again. Logging into CF to see the updates and to stream a little was what led to me discovering the theft of my account lol
  • I really hope you get your account back man. My account was also stolen a couple months back, thankfully, I got it back with a bunch of temporary weapons, no idea how it got there.
  • If support can't help you, no one on the forums can. Good luck.
