Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this one. I recieved an email this morning saying my paypal account that I use for fun stuff and ebay, needed to be updated. So like an idiot, trusting paypal and maybe just being naive on my part, i entered my CC info and was done.
There was about 200 bucks in my checking account at the time. When I checked it 3 hours later, i had a balance of -951.28. Someone had wired money from my checking account thru WesternUnion.com.
When I called WU fraud dept. I was told that they had built a profile, ME :angry: , and attempted to tranfer money 4 times totalling about 5,000 dollars to the Dominican Republic. For some reason even though there was only 200 and some change in the account the a- holes still got 951.28. Luckily Chase covered my dumbass and its not costing me anything, but i still have to change my passwords, get a new debit card, just a pain in the rear.
The reason im writing this is to give you guys all a heads up to look out for this crap. The page looked 100% real, it fooled the hell out of me. Just be careful, i would hate to see someone really lose thier ass to one of these lowlifes.
