And has been inactive since July 2017, and just woke up to start this thread.
It could be a hacked account, it could not. I'm not saying that his case is not genuine; but seeing how many of this situations I've seen on this couple of months since I've been back to the forum.... well.... I tend to distrut everyone in certain situations (yes, no matter the rank). Besides, if it's a bought account/wallet, there's nothing stopping OP from lying; but still
The sad part is, that I have no way to show you that my story is true.
So maybe this whole forum is useless? If you want to show tech support to people, but you're branded a fraud or 'hacked account' the moment you ask something, then what's the point?
What can I do to "proof" you wrong without doxing myself? Nothing actually.
So :
guy asks for help with restoring old wallet file
guy is automatically branded a hacked account, and a fraud.
