    Just had my paypal account hacked cant believe i was so stupid.

    I went on the thread on here that said $2.50 free to your paypal, and i logged in via their page now they've changed the email and stole the account.

    What can i do as i cant log into paypal to file a dispute.

    Another situation where a little common sense could have saved a lot of trouble!

    Anyway, which thread are you referring to so we can delete it?
