Just stay calm and talk to google support. Im sure if you explain everything calmly provide enough information that you are the account owner that they will take action.

PS: 160$ is nothing, imagina your 500$+ paypal beeing locked forever.

its impossible to "hack" a google account
he got your pass from some other site you registered on or he saw you type it in

[musman1986]

I forgot to tell that my digitalpoint account was hacked too with it as that was registered on same email.

How can he get my pass from other website and no one can view me typing my pass as i don't open my accounts in other people's pc.

has to be a site you signed up on
meaning he didnt get it off gmail or DP or any other really popular site.
most likely some small site you registered on once or something

thats the problem of keeping ur passwords for all sites and mail same

[clarksta]

i bet he signed up for some top list or somthing

some of these scripts send your passwords to the admin if they request it

guess you will have to cut your lose and learn a lesson here
never ever have the same passwords for places that have valuble infoamtion or funding info

and always keep your password info on a usb stick

I agree man, specially for the important things.

All my main sites and hosting I keep on paper

As per my experience Security question being last option to get back your account. One me too lost gmail account but i got it back coz i created custom security question and of curse it was almost impossible to guess for hacker/phisher.
Just two tips from me to keep safe your account:
1. Use a secondary email id while creating any email account. In case if hacker changed password , you can get it back via your secondary email. And yeah don use anywhere your secondary email.
2. Don choose readymade security question . Always create custom as it is your last weapon to use. If you don have this email service provider can't do anything for you coz you lost your last evidence.
3. Read my security blog here
