Yesterday I had my Pay Pal account hacked, someone ordered goods off line from Web site that sells clothing, I got alerted with a text saying £45.99 had been spent through pay pal, by the time I got to my pay pal site to stop and cancel, another £39.99 went out while I was n line. I had to cancel my debit cards and Pay Pal are refunding the money. The address they gave for delivery was my name and part my address but rest of the address in Surrey, Pay Pal said they will have got my pass word some how? Any ideas anyone? I've not been on my Pay Pal site for ages till yesterday sorting this out.
That's awful justice. I hate things like that,with a vengeance ! For years,I'd been getting " spoof " Paypal letters which I reported and they asked me to forward all spoof emails to them,which I did,and had to keep changing my password
-------but I still got spoof emails ! However,nobody managed to get into my account and this year the spoof emails have been fewer thank goodness. You can easily spot a spoof even though it uses Paypal's logo and looks authentic,there are certain things that don't match----such as a wrong spelling for a start because I've got eyes like a hawk when it comes to that.
I'm glad that you've been reimbursed as thieving/hacking is the lowest of the low.
Paypal told me the spoofs were coming from London.
Mix cap.letters with lower-case and numbers too.
