Just had a call from paypal - confirming a transaction for £890.

Obviously I didnt make it, damn lucky they called me - no idea how they could have gotten access, my passwords complex and firewalls/antivirus are up to date.

Ahh well, time to change all my passwords I guess.

 

[Afran]

Damn, could almost afford a new PC.

Find out the IP the transaction would of been made from, report to their ISP.

 

[Litmus]

Did the transaction go through or was that what the call was for? confirmation?

 

[Blackjack]

stuff like that scares me

Physical pain, snakes and exams have nothing on me. But people stealing my money over the internets... arf

Yeah emailed paypal with the ip range my ISP use, and asked for the logs of any other IP's logging in as me.

Yup it went through, obviously there wasnt enough in my paypal account so it sucked around 800 quid off my credit card <sigh>

 

[leviathane]

ouch suckies.

 

[cHodAX]

Crikey that sucks.

 

[CorNokZ]

Sorry to hear that mate..

 

[Olgaline]

ouch,

but why the confermation call if the transaction has already ocuerred ?
would have made more sence to withhold it and await your aproval no ?

Yup - the paypal system should have some kind of payment limit that you can set.

Anyway woke up this morning and the money has been refunded to my credit card, so no problems there - just wish i knew how they got my details.

When you send a payment through paypal doesnt that trigger an email "you have paid xxxxx £nnnnn" ? As I didnt get this and the email address on the account hasnt been touched.

 

[CorNokZ]

Is was about to ask you if it was time to change your name back to Tears, but I see you got your money back, so gratz

 

[Overdriven]

That's really odd tbh. They given the logs back yet? Report to ISP if they do it etc.

 

[Nate]

Get someone to check it out, I bet paypal has a security issue that they want to keep quiet! Then you'll earn millyuns! Or, did you click any dodgy e-mails? Theres been a few paypal ones flying around lately.

Stay away from porn sites.

I got really lucky last week i had a phone call form mint asking about two payments that were going onto my card. £950 Betfair and £375 party poker neither were me. So they did not make it onto my Card.

Scary thing is that card has only ever been used on PayPal and Mobymemory.co.uk and it sits in a draw at home. I have not used the memory site for 3 months only paypal so it scared me a bit.

You're an Arsenal fan. Serves you right.
