Hi There

Something strange happened. Actually I tried to register on a forum, and trust me, I am hearing about the forum for the first time.

But when I attempted to register, the error appeared, saying that I have already been registered with this email.

It's a Gmail account, and users in that list are telling me that I am sending them Spam emails, advertisements etc.

Do you think my email has been hacked? And that someone is already using it?

there is a strong possibility that it might just be a prank but, if it continues for seriously long then i shud say u should check your account rather delete it in my opinion if u still can.

Hi

I think it is chinese hackers at work who are trying to hack so many Gmail accounts of users. Google is banned in china. I am sure you account has been hacked as yoiu get those mails as yoiu never sent any. Moreover google never uses any ones accounts for ads, its policy matter.

Yeah it is definitely. If your email is doing activities that you never do, then it is really hacked. best thing you can do is change your password regularly. A combination of letters and numbers helps a lot.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.
All I advise you is to delete your current email account and create
a new one.
And prevent yourself from clicking any links from your email..
This links might have a keyloggers or spywares attach on them so be careful..
Do not just give your email address to anyone you never know..

I hope this will help.. ^^

did you sign up to any suspicious sites? did you use your email password for another site? i suggest changing your password or creating a new email account. delete your current email account if that is possible.

One of two things.

1. Someone hacked you and got into your e-mail.
2. You did something stupid, and now some has a hold of your e-mail address and is now abusing it.

Don't do stupid things with your e-mail address is all I have to say. And for now, get a new e-mail address.

Also, have an e-mail for personal and business things, and have another e-mail for fun things. It makes it a lot safer, and it also makes it easier to organize.
