My Topps Million Card Giveaway Hacked!

I received a free code from Travis over at Punk Rock Paint for entering his contest, so I headed on over to Topps' website to redeem the code.  Upon doing so, I received the following:

A 1980 Eric Rasmussen, not the best card certainly, but it least it was a 1987 Topps card!  However, that's only the beginning.  I decided I would check out what trade offers I had...and surprised to not find many, I looked at my completed trades.  It was then that I discovered that some jackwagon apparently hacked into my account and "completed" the following trade:

I lost:
Two 1961 Don Elstons
One 1961 Ken Walters
One 1965 Dennis Ribant
One 1965 Buster Narum
One 1972 AL Pitching Leaders

I "gained"
One 1986 Mike Moore

According to the website, the trade was completed on October 27, 2010.  I already sent Topps the transaction ID and a complaint, I'll up date everyone if/when Topps responds (and what they do about it).  It's not a huge deal for me since I was (admittedly) unlikely to pay to have any of those cards shipped to me...but I was hoping to use them in order to nab a few cards that I DO want - so yeah, I'm still fairly mad about it.

    A. Nice use of Jackwagon

    B. That's egregious.

    C. Topps' system is 10 ways screwed up. If they'd let me, I'd do an operational audit.

  5. That blows. Someone would be getting an earful from me over that.
