    Hi People,
    I am very depressed now..

    I had a paypal which was hacked 2 times and had $205 in it, As it was getting hacked everytime I change my password, What I did was transferred the money to second account...

    Now what happened is that the hacker got my ID and PASSWORD again.. and he went in my PayPal and started unauthorized claim to the account which I sent $205... Now I do not know what to do , My second paypal where I sent the $205 is now Limited..

    Tell me what do I do , I had that much only now and I needed it for some Dedicated server payment, Pls help me DP people :(

    Help me recover my funds..

    Thanks..

    GO in the dispute console and cancel the claim, then go to a internet cafe or toa friend pc or somewhere not from your home and change your password again, and then reformat your pc and make sure you change your router password, some1 is clearly monitoring everyhting your doing either by using a trojan or keylogger either by using your unprotected network

    Man, from reading your other thread it looks like you are having a lot of security issues. Are you sure there isn't a keylogger or something installed? Run a spyware check to eradicate that issue if it's that causing it.

    Regarding recovering the money, I have no idea what Paypal will say to you - I guess someone hacking your account isn't Paypal's fault. Doubt you have proof that it was a hacker and not yourself moving the money.

    What will I get by moving the money man, and It is not paypal's fault but paypal should probably protect the people whose accounts are hacked, I guess I am keylogged and a full PC format to restore settings is needed.

    Even NOD32 anti virus cannot detect it... SHIT man..

    This sort of thing is always very sad and really does highlight the increasing need for security on every machine these days. There are so many scummy people just waiting for opportunities like these. Please when you re-format, make sure you do not fall prey of these people again.

    I am unsure what you can do to recover the funds. What is the total you have lost? I'm guessing you are not in a position to just put it down to experience and move on.

    Good luck with this man.

    You really need to secure your computer before you do anything, you were hacked repeatedly, I strongly recommend reformating your computer and changing all the passwords

    The likelihood of being hacked twice is very rare under normal circumstances. It is either that someone has something totally against you or that you have a keylogger or trojan on your computer. Make sure you check against that.

    Yeah, I think you should format your PC. Tried contacting PayPal to see what they say? Because he didn't change the name (you didn't say he did), maybe if you provide proof that you are that person, they might do something about it.

    It really makes me sad to know there are people out there enjoying other people's money :(

    Backup important files and Reinstall your Operating system. Your box is probably rooted with a virus/keylogger.

    not much we can do... most of the time you can notice your comp is getting hacked, and even if you didn't, you should've taken precautions after the first time, like formatting your hdd, and changed passwords after.

    but that really sucks, best of luck.
