I make lot of deals here, most time I am buying trophies.
I come from germany and a few time ago the language of my paypal account was changed from german to english. I dont know why.
And today I got an email. Somebody transfered all my money of my paypal account to his bank. Its an Interational Bank in USA. I live in germany.
I dont understand why people do that or how this can be happen. I have best virus program and always delete spam or pishing mails.
Sombedy have an advice whtat to do now? here are all my credit carts in this paypal account. he could buy a lot, but he still didnt.
Thanks.
AS a rule.
1) Always use a different email a/c and password for any financial stuff.
2) Any weird stuff you see regarding banks. Always play safe. Call the customer service and find out whats going on.
3) Contact paypal to dispute the transaction. If they see its a suspicious activity they will take care of it.
4) Contact bank to dispute the transaction there as well.
5) If you want to use free version of Antivirus. Use AVG Free edition. Its one of the best antivirus out there which is still free. Else get norton 360. You can usually get it pretty free after deals/rebates.
Best of luck. Hope you get your money back.
