PayPal limited...then unlimited in less than an hour.

    This is a story of what happens when you play by the rules and don't mess around. I used my password from PayPal on some other PTC sites I joined last night....bad idea...seems that someone named Mickael Fernandes Leao and yufang zhou went to town with my PayPal account, luckily, PayPal noticed $1114 going through my account in which their hadn't been much activity. They limited it and required verifying my password, security question and phoning me. I did all that. I then called PayPal up and asked a few questions and the person on the other end was even nice enough to open my account again. He also said they would have the cases looked into within 48 hours, all in all, not bad for just getting defrauded. :D

    Hey glad everything was resolved buddy. I'll definitely take that as a personal warning as well as I join PTC and GPT sites with my PayPal ID. Glad PayPal was helpful in your case and take care.

    haha, well, not everything. $181 in overdraft fees, but PayPal faxed my bank a letter and I am going to take with them in the morning(11:11 PM).
