What a PIA
I would rather have all my internet accounts hacked by some piece of scum in Nigeria and move to two different houses in two months than to have set up a new phone or other piece of electronic equipment.
I broke my phone two days ago and got a new one. I cannot figure out how in the hell to log into this site using my new phone. I have logged into a few other sites I go to without much of a problem but for some reason FTE is proving to be a total PIA.
I also cannot install my email programs on the new phone. This isn't the first time I've had to program a new phone. I tend to wreck phones on almost an annual basis but this time this new phone is really bucking any attempts to work on. If anyone knows a hacker tell them I'll give them all my personal information; bank accounts number, insurance numbers, social security number and birth days of everyone in my family if they'd just be kind enough to hack into my new phone and set it up for me. It's only going to be a matter of a few more minutes before this new phone ends up being a pile of small part laying on the floor.

I've done all that but I can't remember my password and the FTE system isn't allowing me to reset the password. All it does is kick me out after five attempts. I requested an an email reset but they haven't sent me anything.

don't feel bad. My nephew keeps telling all that my new phone can do and I still have a hard time answering it. I still use a lap top for truck sites

Just spent an hour and half on the phone with my brother just to get my emails to work 
That should have been a five minute project but I had Godaddy system involved in that mess. IT and politicians, there has to be a special place for them to go when they croak. They are the same, they can get something working smoothly but then realized they are no longer needed so they stick their fingers into it just to screw it up.
I have something to do this afternoon but when I get back I'll work on the FTE mess again.

Just wait until some arab dude named Abdul hacks your cell phone.... I've never went through anything like that... The guy had access to everything, all he had to do was have the reset for every account I have sent to my hacked phone.

I've had the same thing happen on marketplace. What I do is look at their Facebook profile. If they have no pictures and no posts you know it's a scam.
Once I had listed several car and truck parts. One person sent me the same message for 2 unrelated parts. The profile picture had a good looking young chick. I knew it was fake. I messaged "her" and said, " wow it's good to see a young girl interested in old car parts."
Sometimes I say give me your number and I'll text you "
