"Lol, $500 in BTC is a small price to pay for my gaming sanity back. I got hacked last year and they even changed my email, had to jump through hoops to get it back. Glad it worked out for you OP, btw."

"Dude, I know this is a gaming thread, but I gotta share - my Steam account got compromised back in 2018 and I lost $200 worth of TF2 keys to a scammer. Luckily, Valve reimbursed me, but it was a stressful few days trying to regain control. Guess I dodged a bullet that time!"

"Dude, I had a similar incident back in 2018, got my PSN account compromised and they demanded 0.1 ETH for "recovery." Luckily, I just set a new password and got my account back, but still gotta be on the lookout for scammers. Always double-check the emails, yo."

"Dude, I totally feel you. Had my Xbox Live account hacked a year ago and it cost me a bunch of in-game cash and a few free games. Luckily I had a strong password, so they didn't manage to get into my main account."
