Today, just about half an hour ago, i guy i didn't know IM'd me.

He said that a friend of his had asked me to ask who I was, because apparently 'I' was saying things like i wanted to screw him.

I looked at his profile, and knew who he was by seeing his myspace, but i never ONCE have IM'd the guy he was talking about. And if i did, i certainly would not say i wanted to screw him.

I'm just really freaked out. This has happened before, someone saying that I said things that I KNOW i did not say. But this time it's a little different since i know the boy who accused me of IMing him.

I've already changed my password, but i don't know what else to do. I'm painfully shy so i can't IM him and try to clear it up, it's not at all an option. I'm just looking to see if anyone can tell me what to do, and what might've happened?

A Hacker? Brother pulling an elaborate joke? Any possibilites and advice are welcome.

ok change your password and secret question and anything else like postal code etc that someone may knw and use to get access to your mail. and if you have an alternative email change the passwords to that too. make sure you log off completely if using another computer delete private data (if its MSN) type jibrish (ex. jhbjh@hotmail.com ) and blah password and cancel sign in so this email remains and so your email dsnt look tempting for hackers who use that computer after you. dont write your passwords anywhere and i suggest you get a protection system against hackers or whatever the program that anonymizes your IP address to hackers is called.

good luck!

hope it helps
