Staff member tries all passwords supplied, none work. Starts going through their list of passwords, stumbles across one that works and wasn't supplied.
I politely pointed out that once I'm given the things you've setup I can certainly configure things for you.
This is my 30th anniversary year in IT support and I still come across rude people like this.
Did they turn it off and on again?

It's facebook. Delete and your life will be so much sweeter! (Says he who never had a fb account and never will!)
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Still, so true mate, a close mate recently told me of how an acquaintance who they worked with deleted them from facebook, after leaving the job, then has started again with them, he said it was awkward, I say they were never friends in the first place. Facebook is great for looking at ls1s for sale, real friends drop by unannounced just to say gday.

It's always your fault mate, because you're knowledge it percieved to be all knowing, when you don't fix it instantly it's your fault.

WARNING - This happened to me yesterday. Paypal credentials hacked. My delivery address for goods had been changed and I didn't know. I purchased an item and the delivery address came up correct on the Paypal transaction record, however the actual delivery address sent to the vendor is an address in the UK. I only found out as the vendor made contact to advise the shipping would not be free, as it was to an overseas address - goods coming from Bris to melb. I jumped onto Paypal to report it, then checked my account and found absolutely dozens of times the delivery address has been changed or updated. Don't ask me how or to what purposes as to date everything has arrived, however I am now locked in a battle with the vendor who is refusing to send the goods to the correct Melb address as he is bound to send to the address he has received from Paypal. I have opened a claim with Paypal and am in contact with the vendor - bit of a stalemate going on, hope to get it resolved. I have changed the passwords already, might have to simply cancel the transaction if the vendor does not pull his head in. Painful to say the least. So, check your Paypal credentials and profile for sure.

Yes Sergai in London is now the proud wearer of a set of RayBan sunglasses for 90 GBP, hope they suit his look. Paypal and ebay accounts both hacked, so password change. He also changed the contact email address so any correspondence from either ebay or paypal did not reach me. Paypal has refunded the money, and ebay have paid the two transactions I was unable to complete today due to being unable to change/remove the London address. Dirty dirty dog.
