Last night I was hit by a hacker to my Pay Pal account. They were able t= o take about $1000 before Pay Pal threw a security blanket on my account.= I have changed my password and everything and called Pay Pal who is try= ing to fix everything. So untill then my Pay Pal account is frozen, with= all the money that is in there. Which is almost like punishing me. Str= ange thing is they got in and kept taking little amounts ($100-$260). I'= ve sent large sums before with Pay Pal so I am unsure why they didnt try,= the funds where there. Pay Pal's system did catch one of the charges a= nd reversed it. I am really hoping they reverse the others. =20 I have never given my password out to anybody or anything. I do not have= it written anywhere. I am really at a loss on how they got in there. =20 Mark ------=_NextPart_001_0002_01C27A88.6C7F05C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE=3D"font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>Hello List,</D= IV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since a lot of list members use Pay Pal, I tho= ught I would tell everyone that..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Last night= I was hit by a hacker to my Pay Pal account.
