Paypal Hacked

The only thing you really can do is contact Paypal mate, absolute sh1tter for you though, i change my password every month on it as was getting really paranoid about it.
Contact your bank and get the direct debit cancelled for it if there is one pending. Which bank are you with? I know ive got insurance that covers identity theft etc..

Natwest. Got through to paypal and they said they will deal with it and recover the money within ten days.
Good job I check my emails every day - they've taken only around 50 dollars so far. What kind of tard causes all this hassle for £25 and a few download games. I am really, really, peeved and have lost all confidence in Internet money transactions within minutes.

Yeah your quite lucky that it was only $50 to be honest, have heard some horror stories about this kind of thing. The guy/girl is obviously a complete moron as you say tho!! Glad you got it sorted mate.

Good point well made, i suppose if hes done that to a few accounts it all mounts up.

I didn't say he/she was a moron, just a tard. Naturally, I'm annoyed that whoever it is has obviously accessed my computer and taken my money that I have worked for. But there you go, that's life.
I agree, if that was his/her method, it was clever. But then why not buy something worthwhile?
I agree mate. Its probably a 12year old sat in his bedroom with geek hacking powers.
I use PayPal a lot and this sort of stuff does worry me but I cant stop using it. Although I do have 2 accounts, 1 for PayPal.
Another good shout, as i was saying earlier i change mine quite a lot and always make the password very secure.

No one "hacked" into your account
You were just stupid enough to get an email saying 'please verify your account details' (which was a fake/phishing email) and you happily logged in to find that you didnt login, but your details were just emailed to the fraudster.
No banks or anything emails you to verify details.

Credit me with some intelligence. I did not do that; they had accessed my account with my password and added a new email address, then carried out transactions. How they got my password I don't know - I'm just deep scanning my computer to find out.
I NEVER even open emails from my bank or PayPal, just in case, let alone click anything. I only open emails from people I know or if I can identify where they came from. Try being less judgmental.
Shhh
dont worry, my email and ebay was taken on tuesday, unsure how as the secret question answer had nothing to do with the question..
random.

Hmm well the police are coming to take a statement at some point tonight (I only phoned for a crime number lol. All my passwords and personal details are changed on every site. The inconvenience was perhaps the worst bit. Over an hour on the phone, various emails etc.
I think I sussed their plan; new email address being set up suggests that they meant to get all receipts etc. sent to them, but cocked it up. Money went missing off my card and directly out of my bank, so I'm assuming they intended to secrete it out little by little. I'll probably never know, but I hope karma gets them.
