Hello List,

Thanks everyone for the e-mails. From the best I can tell, they were abl=
e to open a credit card through my Pay Pal account, as I recieved an e-ma=
il from Pay Pal, too late to react, asking me to verify my membership num=
ber with the new card. My talks on the phone with Pay Pal did not bring =
this up through them so I really dont know. But funds where taken from m=
y account and put into someone else's. From there Pay Pal should have no=
 problem figuring out where they went, although I think I reacted fast en=
ough there is a hold on it. They are suppose to investigate and contact =
me so we will see.

Either way, it was strange enough for Pay Pal to put a blanket on the acc=
ount and they did reverse one charge, so there should be no doult that it=
 is fraud of some type. Pay Pal probley makes about $500 a month from m=
e so you would think they will try to make this go away for me. It is fr=
ustrating that with the account frozen I cannot touch the funds that are =
in there now, nor can I recieve payments. =20

This will of course make me think about dropping Pay Pal. With so many e=
Bay users using it, it will be a hard thing to do. So we'll see. If the=
y work everything out, I will probley foolishly keep them. =20

But I have done about all I can and the rest is now up to Pay Pal so I gu=
ess I move on and wait. So with that in mind, stay tuned tonight for Me=
teorite Contest #8...
