I just received an email from tomtom for a bloke in Belgium, he apparently bought the camera alerts for there, when I went onto the Tomtom website I was already logged in as this fella, anyone else had this?

Not with the TT site, but at the weekend I got an email with a password change confirmation code for PGPSW - only I hadn't requested one!

A basic check of the request source IP on the RIPE database came up with the ISP as AOL Europe - so no surpise there...

This could be because I'd not logged off here for a few days, making a hacking attempt more likely Embarassed

Your problem seems like a foul-up in the TT database - they've got at least some of your details associated with his account. Have you told TT support?

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for the reply, yes I have sent "contact us" note to tt tonight but what surprised me was that I was already logged in on my pc under this fellas name and could see what hardware he had so logged off straight away logged back in an there he was, hope they havn't given my credit card details to someone else from when i upgraded last year

Being already logged on as someone else is a bit weird - it suggests that the cookie on your PC is associated with this other account. Can you still log on as the real you? That should reset the cookie to refer to your account.

No thats the problem when I log off and back in as me it comes up as this other guy in Belgium with his hardware details, perhaps the crossed connection is on their server and thats why when I went to the tt site set with auto log in the cookie sees his account details just as you say, I will delete my cookies and try again
