Got this e-mail today:

First off we apologize to any customers that received a disturbing e-mail earlier today. Please note that this was NOT sent from us!

Our site was hacked last night by an angry customer who cheated out the system and ending up catching this. Some how they found a leak into our site and decided it would be funny to e-mail all our customers and lie to them thinking they could pretend to be us.

This is a serious crime to hack into sites and destroy their databases. It is no game to play. And once we find out who has done this, we will be reporting them.

We are also disturbed by some of our customer's e-mails. Swearing and cussing at us and not asking what was going on. This was not a polite way to handle the matter. We wish that customers would have come to us first to find out if this was a hack or what not.

We\'re sorry to hear that some of our customers would think we wrote this nasty e-mail. We are getting our site looked at and having any open holes fixed so this does not happen again.

We are asking all customers who filed complaints through PayPal to take these off and talk to us first. We would be happy to talk with you and tell you what had happened.

Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Thank you,
EZLaptop.com

My account was reinstated this morning, leading me to believe that they were, in fact, hacked. Whether they're real or not is still a mystery.
