So Angry Right Now - brettyboy - 07-09-2008
<img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/verymad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":verymad:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"verymad.gif\" /> I find out today that somehow someone in Europe hacked my paypal account and drained it today and also overdrafted my bank account that is attached to my paypal account. They got me for almost 300.00 SO I had a fun night of calling the bank and paypal to get this shit taken care of!

Cripes! that sucks man hope you get it back without hassle.Whan it comes to my paypal account or even bank account, i keep it at 0 just for that reason!When i buy something i take the money and put it in my account the day of or before i pay.If someone want to hack me, its a waste of time.

I am happy that paypal is sending me one of the security keys for free now. So No one will be able to hack me since you have to enter the security code from the key every time you log in. I just have to make sure I keep it in a safe place so I dont lose it.

You didn't get hacked..you probably logged into paypal from an email but was fooled into thinking it was actually a paypal page.They do that all the time.I NEVER log in unless I go straight to www.paypal.comD

Im not an idiot. I deal with credit card processing for my job and fraud on a daily basis. I work for a bank. Somebody hacked me.

I just don't understand how someone hacks a paypal account. Those scammers are idiots.It's not something you can just hack

Dont know, but they changed my password and my security questions twice. They were from Europe because they were converting my money to euros. It was ridiculous. They were also just using it to pay stuff online that would get shipped so there is no paper trail. I'd like to know myself because I'm baffled as to how they got my info unless there as a breach in paypals records themselves. I found it kind of odd that they are sending me the security key free of charge to make up for it. It sounds kind of fishy to me.
