My paypal account was hacked today to the tune of $120. I know it isn't much, but at this point in time, I need all my money. Keep an eye on your accounts!
 
Oh yeah, I contacted them as soon as I could following. I not only disputed the transactions, I also called them. They said it would take up to 10 days, but I would get my money back.
 
I stopped dealing with them a few years back. I kept getting some suspicious emails regarding my account, so I closed it down.

Sorry to hear about what happened to you.
 
TY, I do appreciate it. I am thinking accidentally openning one of those emails is how they got my password. Really makes me mad. But if they make it right, I can't help but give them another chance. I had it happen with my bank account a long time ago, but never online.

I too have gotten suspicious emails. They are called 'spoofs' and they should be reported. I haven't had any trouble yet, but thanks for the warning! An anti-virus program will help avoid those spoof emails.
 
keep in mind, the kind of emails that should send up a flag is things asking for you to log in to fix an account problem, never click a link in an email saying they are from paypal, but sign into your account directly- i almost fell for it and backout real fast
 
I have fallen victim to the scam emails to the tune of $200. It was a year ago, I got the money back and it was more like 3 weeks. They only count in buisness days

Paypal did make good so you should your money back with out a problem, just don't panic if it's longer than what they said. Good luck

Always report those emails to Pay Pal, Ebay, Your Bank, etc, they have people and software to deal with them.
Get the reportable website for all the above add it to your address bok and then forward all such email.

Forward fakes to [email protected]

I checked my account and it was locked. I closed my regular bank account that was tied to it. I'm at a loss with it rite now.I cant even pull up the contact page. Does any one have the contact # for Ebay or Paypal?.....PAYPAL USERs BEWARE!
