AceHost.com tried to rob me!!

    I believe I have a site hosted here. I dont remember I have so many sites though.

    But Paypal just sent me an email shutting down my account because of they thought someone had access to my account. (was a real paypal email)

    So I log into Paypal and had to changed password and verify some information. I went to paypal.com just to eliminate all the "are you sure it wasnt a fraud email questions"

    Well come to find out www.acehost.com tried to take $1,297.32 USD from me. Not really take I guess, it tried to transfer that money from my banking account to them. So that means someone logged me in and tried to transfer money to them.

    I cant wait to get ahold of these mother fuckers! "excuse the language"

    Luckily Paypal stopped the transaction and I didnt lose any money. I really have no clue on how this happened unless they pulled up my hosting password and tried it in paypal. (it would have worked) Guess I was stupid there.

    But if you have any sites hosted there or ever came across them then I recommend you stay clear!!

    Well I am pretty sure I used the same password on my cpanel on the site I was hosting there that I used on my Paypal account.

    Why $1,297.32?
    Was it your balance a weird number to just come up with?
