last night about 9pm i had my paypal account hacked into.
it was weird as they were drawing about 400gbp (AU$815) out of my account every couple of min and then also someone else deposited $8000us into my account. luckily i was on my pc at the time and rang paypal to sort it out. i dont know how they got my details to hack into it as i check my pc for viruses and nothing. i also havent used paypal for months. since then ive had to shut down my bank accounts and now have to change shit i wouldnt normally do.
seems like its a money laundering scheme from one country to another but tryin to invole me into it. the only way i knew about this was the fact that paypl was sending me emails and they just started rolling in. some of the maney even was forwarded onto skype. i dont even have a skype account so WTF???
pplz plz beware this may happen to u.
