North of The Wall - youll need your vest

From FAQs:

I think someone else is logging into / has "hacked" my account!

If you think someone has gained access to your account you should immediately change your password on here via your change password page and on your associated email account if you're using web based email. You should run anti-virus and anti-spyware software to ensure that you don't have a keylogger or spyware installed on your computer.

We take the security of our site and database very seriously. The database server is on a seperate physical server behind a firewall to which only site owners have access, via a specified IP address. All passwords are encrypted and neither site owner nor admin have accesss to them.

The following are some common ways that accounts on Fab are compromised. Please be careful to avoid them!

1: Members share their password with friends, partners, lovers (this is the most common cause of "compromised" accounts).

2: Members login on other people's computers who run a keylogger (we see this via the login history of both parties, matched via verifications!).

3: In a couple, the partner changes/removes the profile and denies it (we see this because we record IP address and verify password of all account deletions).

4: The users use the same password on all sites they're on (including dodgy ones run by people who don't encrypt passwords), and site admins on other sites login using their info. On Fab, passwords are hidden from all users and admins.

5: The users email account is shared/compromised and the "hacker" gets their password from our initial signup email.

I've just woken up and logged onto my phone to a message from Tiger Girl and responded to it yet she is ONLY looking for couples and men so how could I reply if single ladies are blocked as nothing came up at all just the reply to message box?

Also the Distance says:

90+ miles away (120+ driving) (which would be right for London)

Right now: They are on mobile, 5400+ miles away

I have only ever had this type of issue on Facebook where I checked in at a place in London when I was actually at work in Gloucester hence I changed my password and reported the profile.

All very confusing.

If she sent you the message then you can reply.

You dont know that she has single females blocked. Im not looking for anyone at the moment but that doesnt stop people messaging me.

The 90 miles might be where she has set her profile as her postcode location.

If shes on the mobile at the moment in the US then thats the 5400 miles away

Ah right okay, well I think tiger Girl has solved through chatting, what is going on. Her ex set up a couples profile for guys for them/her and is possibly still using it as she does actually live in San Diego not England. I've suggested that she either sets up a new profile or changes the email addy too as well as the password
