ho-ho-ho don't i know! last week i had my pay-pal password hacked and pay
pal suspended my ability to acess my account! this prompted my calling
them via phone to find out what happened!
I got an email telling me another email address had been added to my account
and to respond if this wasn't proper. Of course, the email gave me a
connection to click. Looked legit, so I connected to it and, first sign
that something wass a miss, it switched me to a "new site" where I was asked
for my email and password to enter paypal.
I decided to use my email (which they already had) and make up a password.
Surprise, I was logged in. And guess what? - I had been eselected for a
"random audit" to ensure my account was up-to-date. All I had to do was
enter the credit card number I was using with Paypal and they would check it
against their records.
My first instinct was to make up a number, but I decided I had had enough
and got out of the site.
So far I haven't seen any false charges, although I am going to check it out
today.
