    Default My gmail account got hacked need advice

    Long story short, i was looking for someone to make me an ebook cover, i found a website and it was very reasonable. I subscribed to his nwsletter and he sent me an newsletter with a $10 rebate but i had to purchase within two sys. I purchased it and yesterday he finished it, but he locked it until i accepted it. I liked it and asked for a $10 rebate, he played stupid and said its fo the next time i buy. This is the part I'M REALLY CONFUSED about. I forwarded the message he sent me, and when he replied he asked if i want a whole refund. However, when he replied it only showed the part i written but not the forwarded message. When i looked into my gmail account he CHANGED the original newsletter some how, i was confused. I changed my password and logged in, and when i tried to log into my account it won't let me log in. When i entered my secondary e-mail address it won't let me do it. It sucks because i have so much important stuff in there, If anyone have advice i would appreciate it, and thanks for reading.

    If you're really sure, contact the gmail staff. I'd be interested if you could send me those emails, too (but the originals, headers intact).

    Contact the staff. I'm sure they keep backups of these records. You should also be able to reset your password with the 'forgot password' link and security questions. takes 5 days though... and you can't login during that time... meaning he could login, so you couldn't have the 5 idle days.
    So.... yeah, you should contact the staff as Twey says.
