    Not that I can recall.

    Did you get an email, or is it something that shows when you login?

    email. i just received my 3rd one this year, 4th since the holidays. and i know i've never tried to login to my own account unsuccessfully 5 times.

    Dear finalsbound,

    Someone has tried to log into your account on ClutchFans with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

    The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 80.7.77.221

    All the best,
    ClutchFans


    other IP addresses were 77.23.70.196, 91.216.148.2, and 176.40.198.224 in nov 2012.

    i think someone from clutchfans somehow hacked my email late last year and sent private chat convos to other people, because they sent it claiming to be another poster here who i know. which was total bull****, and i really don't know what the motivation could have been.

    it's just annoying. i was curious as to whether other posters also get these periodically or if someone is still trying to stir up stuff. get a life, whoever it is.

    Could it be that the person who gave you that moniker is suddenly trying to gain back what was once his?

    Sorry to hear of your situation, I hope you find out who the perve is so that the culling can begin
    and he/she get's what they deserve!

    Clutch could probably find out who that IP address belongs to if it belongs to another dudes account here.

    Interesting thing is that it is 4 different IP addresses.

    Either finalsbound somehow attracts several perves or the perve who's doing it is a pro.

    Many possible situations:
    Multiple people.
    Same person accessing on different devices (PC, phone, tablet, etc.)
    Person using an online proxy.

    My guess would be proxy, which would make it harder to catch.

    Probably a proxy. All of the IP addresses resolve to European ISPs, 1 England, 1 Germany, and 2 Turkey. But the first one is Virgin Mobile, I'm not sure if that means it has to be a phone, if so it probably isn't a proxy.

    Maybe one user has multiple personalities and only one personality has the password.
