    WTF
    Here is the email I got from paypal when I checked my email account
    [SIZE=+1]


    Your payment has been sent
    [/SIZE]


    WTF.............


    I have changed my paypal password, security questions, email account password, security questions and looked into my paypal profile, nothing is changed.
    I have opened a dispute for unauthorized activity.

    I guess you might get your money back since paypal always supports the senders, if you can prove to them the above situation in any way, you can easily get your money back...since you have opened a dispute.

    BTW, did u see whether the person who received the fund.. was a verified member or a non-verified member...

    Just raise a dispute saying unauthorized, you'll surely get it back. It happened with a friend once and that's how he got it back..

    Thank you everyone.
    He was not a verified member.
    I oepned paypa dispute the time when I saw email.
    I can guess he sent money to some another account from this unverified acccount. I called paypal and told them about this issue. A girl picked up the phone and told me to wait 10 days and follow up emails. She assured me that I'll get my money back after 10 days, they are investigating..........................

    i hate paypal but if you want to help your password problem use a password strength chart. use a lot of "*#%@%" and numbers and if you know shift commands those are the best. that way you get the strongest password. also watch out for phinishing sites where they get your password.. they are tricky

    I had @ in my paypal account password along with digits but due to some virus/keyloggers it was hacked. Damn

    Looks like there was a keylogger in my computer. I have reinstalled my OS now.

    Yeah it is:(


    Now today I login to my paypal to check any update and I see this

    Your account access is limited. Learn how to remove this limitation.

    WTF

    Someone hacked my account and stolen my money and paypal limited my account. It's funny, instead of taking some other action they did limited account. I hope to get good news soon from paypal. It sucksssssssssssss.

    Paypal support senders. Send them info plus some letter from your ISP with stated your IP address. Paypal can easily track from which IP came this activity and if its not yours and even better - not from your country, you'll have a big chance to recieve money back. But you must hurry up!
    Good luck!

    I don't believe he will be able to get money back. If other person did withdraw, it's pretty much lost.
