Watch Your Paypal! All of my money is GONE! :(

[Rare Feathers Farm]

I have had PayPal for years and never had a problem until today.

I logged in to check and see what I needed to ship and someone not only emptied my PayPal account but my ENTIRE SAVINGS account that was attached to it.

This hits especially hard since I'm off work and caring for our newborn daughter until December (unpaid).

I filed a report (claim), changed my passwords, took off all of the accounts attached to the PayPal account and now I'm just going to have to wait to see if I can get all of my money back.

It was some non-US with the name of: Zhang Man who did this...

Keep an eye on your accounts, change your passwords....reconsider linking your bank accounts to PayPal because someone can easily drain them.

Thank you. I am just worried sick over it. I've been selling eggs since March or so to save up for my time off and try to get some money put away for bills...now it's all gone.

So sorry, what a shock!

It is....because I know what was in there and to sign in and see $0.00 in my PayPal and my savings account makes me want to throw up.

Makes me sick...

I am not sure--but I sure hope so! It was my car payments for the next three months, poultry feed for the next SIX months and a little extra--just in case money.

That really stinks!

Thank you for the warning. I hope you are reimbursed.

I think I am going to set a lower daily spending limit and monitor my account a bit closer.

Yeah...had I not logged in when I did--who knows what else he could have done?!? Especially since my "back up" funding source was my checking account.

. Why are people such dirtbags? Do you do alot of ebaying and such? I can't think of what else my paypal is tied too because its all separate with separate passwords and such...does that matter? How do they get into your checking?
