    Looks like a "Kaspersky antivirus" promotion ad to me. Anyway, who's the article writer? Is it you?

    I was into hacking and stuff few years back .. trust me its very difficult to bypass a firewall ... and even if someone does it he must be a stupid to talk to you via paypal . i believe that either you have created a good story for kasperky promotion . or u must have got phished by someone .



    i agree with you

    Yes, definitely a cock and bull story. Just to promote the anti virus products and get some commission.

    I use Zone Alarm suite... I think that is the most comprehensive one out right now... But what a story. If that really happened to you. you are really lucky that the hacker gave your money back :)

    I don't know what to say. If it's a true story, glad you got your money back. If it's a fake story, I guess you'll make some good money for people viewing the ad.

    I have nothing to say. I am not going to argue with people who say my story is fake. Whether its a true story or a fake one, does not matter to me anymore. But I got expert author status in Ezine articles. I never knew I could write articles so good!! Perhaps this incident woke up a sleeping genius inside me.

    I would say that paypal rocks. They helped me get my money back.

    Why would he waited for you to log into your mail account to realize that your Paypal account is hacked, then change your mail's password :D
