    I just checked my paypal & its shows $0 balance .

    There are 5 payments sent to
    1.) Rapidshare
    2.) Liquid Web
    3.) GoDaddy

    My balance is already 0 & now the funds are going out from the credit card associated with it.

    Please help me with this , as someone else had this problem just a few days back on DP.

    You can contact your bank who provide your CC. It can be chargeback I think.
    Contact paypal too for some details, how to chargeback it.


    Cheers.

    You have got to figure out how your account was hacked. I would suspect a keylogger.

    Exactly my thoughts, there must be some trojan. Better scan your PC for viruses and trojans and change your password and also get a better internet security.

    I think paypal will refund your payment and I think you should disable online credit of your cc and use it offline on stores etc...

    Ya open dispute again that all transactions and you can have most of money refunded. I think there is one option to be selected where we can say that that transaction is done unauthorized but not sure about that.

    Make sure you change password, scan pc, blah blah.

    But very important: If your password was the same as your e-mail password, or other passwords, MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE, so they don't steal your identity or steal your e-mail or began to change other things.

    Sorry this happened to you, but your money will most likely get refunded, so thats good I guess? :\

    Also, The "hacker" will not be able to use the stuff he ordered because once money is refunded, godaddy will take away the domain again, rapidshare will delete account, hosting will be suspended, etc.

    Contact your Credit Card Bank to charge back CC companies have the provisions to charge back if they feel the transactions are not done by you and tell them to immediately stop your card for all online transactions...

    and reissue you the card....

    You are probably right since he already changed his password but you can expect your words to be drowned in a sea of clueless hysteria in this thread. :rolleyes:
