What Should I Do If My OfferUp Account Was Hacked

OfferUp is a local mobile marketplace that focuses on carrying out in-person transactions. The platform competes with other online businesses like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Craigslist, just to mention a few. The OfferUp Software, which is available on the web, Android, and iOS, allows users to purchase and sell goods.

Just like all other online accounts, sometimes OfferUp accounts get hacked. If your OfferUp account has recently been hacked, you need not worry. While it may be difficult to solve this on your own, DoNotPay is here to help.

How to Know If Your OfferUp Account Has Been Hacked

Cybercriminals are on the rise. It is, therefore, very important to know when something doesn't seem right on your account and to know the necessary measures to take to protect yourself from online hackers. A malicious person may have hacked your OfferUp account and may be posting listings using your name or offending other users. The following are some of the signs that someone may have hacked or may be trying to hack your account:

1. You cannot log in to your account using your email and password. This could be a dead-giveaway sign that someone may have changed your login credentials. If you have trouble logging in to your account, notify support immediately.
2. You notice some unusual purchases made using your account. If you get billed for purchases you did not make, someone may be using your account to go on an online shopping spree.
3. You notice any other unusual signs. Do not ignore any signs. If you feel that something is amiss, it most likely is. If this happens to you, ask for immediate help.

How to File an Official Complaint When Your OfferUp Account is Hacked by Yourself

If you are sure or suspect that your account has been hacked, the first action to take is to change your password. When hackers access your account, they usually change your login credentials so that they can lock you out. Follow these steps to change your password:

1. After opening your account, log in
2. Select 'Account'
3. Click on 'Settings'
4. Select 'Change Password'
5. Click on 'Current Password' and enter your most recent password. If you forgot your password or someone changed it, click on 'Forgot your Password'. A password reset link will be sent to your email address. Use this link to create a new password.
6. Select the option 'New Password' and confirm your new password.
7. Click on 'Done'

Once you have changed your password:

1. Reach out to the customer care representatives
2. Explain to them why you suspect someone might have changed your password
3. If possible, provide information to prove that your account may have been hacked
4. After submitting your request for help, be patient while support investigates your issue.

Note that you can contact OfferUp customer care by email or phone. If you use a phone, you will be directed to the next available agent who will take you through the whole process and answer any additional questions you may have.
