You probably have a virus on your computer giving information to some crook in China who is trying to steal from you. Somebody there knew you were using Icmag , cannot think of any other way they could possibly know your user name.

Sounds like you could have a virus on your computer. I'd get it checked out. Your screen name is too weird for someone to randomly try to hack you. Maybe you got some haters here on IC.

I don't know you and not insinuating anything but 'smokey' anything could make someone, haters, try to log you on, because they think youre an LA LEO. 15 years or no.... ip addresses can be obtained and forged, I don't think too hard to do. just thrown it out there.

EDIT: and I don't care who you are..

Interesting i would do this first go to start menu on your pc
click RUN
then type %temp%
then click run
delete everything you see possibly a background program running allowing back door access into your pc from this hacker
secondly check for windows update keep it updated important
perform software updates for your system and web Browser

down load spybot search n destroy
CC cleaner
and what the pro's use and charge you for cleaning your pc lol trend house call run it may take 8 hrs to fully run once done re boot and do it again
