I have opened 2 support tickets about my missing items after I was hacked. Both times the support responded with an automated message telling me nothing about how to recover lost items. After nearly 24hrs their has been no other response from the support team. What am I suppose to do about this? Has anyone else managed to get items back after being hacked?

Your ticket says that if the automated information given has not remedied your issue, to please update your original ticket and explain what it is you wish Customer Support to help you with, i.e. getting an Account Restoration. Do not keep creating additional support tickets, it just slows the process down. You should update the first ticket, and close the second one.

Good luck. =)

I updated my first ticket about 28hrs ago asking if they could help with missing items. I only updated about 8hrs ago asking for a restoration. I have not gotten any response in the 28hr period.

Two questions:

  1. How is asking forum members going to help with this situation?
  2. Why are you not providing the 12-digit support ticket number?

We want to help, but this post isn’t enabling that to happen.

It appears that you have submitted four tickets about this and that you are updating on a near-hourly basis. When you do that, agents are required to go into the multiple tickets, merge them, close the duplicates, assess the updated content (which is pretty much of zero value here), and so forth. They do this before they help you. Therefore, you need to know that you are delaying your response with the multiple tickets. Please stop that now.

I am confident that an agent will be back to you soon with further information or with a restoration update. As we’ve consistently explained, restorations do take longer than a normal ticket, due to the research involved. Please do not update, post, or create a new ticket. Allow them to work with the information they have, and if they need more, they will ask you. Thanks.
