So earlier today my Origin accounts email and password was changed so i can't access it, i can not try to get my account back until 9am (7hrs) i just want to know if anyone has any experience with this and i want to know how easy it will be to get my account back. Oh and the guy that did it was Russian, i bet that is a surprise to you guys.

happened to one of my friends. I'm not sure exactly how he solved it but I do know he contacted origin and after a couple of days he had his account back.

Is that all they can do with it? Just change the email and password? Do they try to sell it or what it seems pretty stupid.

This happened to me a while ago. I have a tendency to not bother with emails some times, and totally missed the one saying my Origin account email had changed. Never bothered to try and get it back as all I lost was BF3 and Mass Effect 3. Would suck a lot more if it was my Steam account.

Yeah that's a lot more significant. Hopefully EA support will not be a huge pain in the ass for you. Just the thought of dealing with them turned me off trying to get my original account back.
