    Hi Guys,

    wanted to bring this to your notice. I was shocked this morning when i saw a mail from paypal saying that i sent a payment of $90. :eek:

    Check the mail below

    You sent a payment of $90.30 USD to Servage GmbH (paypal@servage.net)

    It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in your account.
    ________________________________________

    Servage GmbH

    Instructions to merchant
    You haven't entered any instructions.
    Shipping address - unconfirmed

    The seller hasn’t provided any shipping details yet.
    Description Unit price Qty Amount
    14 Months of webhosting [14 * $ 6.45]
    Item# nc3168808 $90.30 USD 1 $90.30 USD
    Subtotal $90.30 USD
    Insurance $0.00 USD
    Total $90.30 USD
    Payment $90.30 USD
    Payment sent to


    The site of that seller who made an unauthorize payment from my account is http://www.servage.net

    I have raised a dispute with paypal and the investigation is on. Paypal said that they will ensure to complete this in ten days.

    But what is this guys, is the security of paypal so horrible that anyone on the earth can hack into our accounts and make payments. The thief made sure that he made a transaction such that i don't get to know it. Thank God i observed it or else i would have thought its just another payment i made.

    Beware of this fraud site or someone who is using it to make unauthorize hack payments from our accounts.

    May he rot in hell! :mad:

    A person probably hacked your account and signed up for hosting at servage.net. I doubt servage.net hacked your paypal.

    Its not paypal, looks like your system have a backdoor or a keylogger installed.
    You need a scan right now!

    their security isn't horrible, it's actually just fine. it's YOUR fault that your account was hacked. Be aware of things you download for keyloggers.

    I think so, its not fault of PayPal or servage.net. PayPal has assured to resolve and servage.net is a good company too as far I know. Someone hacked your machine. I guess you save username/password in browser's memory also to avoid retyping.

    I scanned, nothing there in my system. Its unlikely this happened. However, i was using my email ids password. could that be one of the problems? :confused:

    Well lets see if the amount is reversed, then surely i can consider servage to be big company.

    But i don't find any such things in my system. I am too careful in filling out forms or going on risky sites.

    Yeah i changed it already. Actually immediately.

    Nope, i don't save ids and passwords in browser. I prefer typing a million times when it comes to passwords of accounts.

    Gosh! say something good man, you are increasing my BP!!

    I have reported already and raised a dispute on this transaction. Hope they reverse the transaction immediately.

    Paypal security really SUCKS :( , They allowed to hackers pay their payment through phished account, after 10-30mins or 2-3days they will hold that fund and doing investigation about that. Just think if you are a digital seller obviously you will give within a minute your product after payment has made. If your seller pay through phishing account then you will lose your money.

    security wise paypal really worst compare to LR or webmoney.

    Which Antivirus or Internet Security? Depends on that, as it was even able to detect it and heal it or it just scans and shows nothing. Could be browser hack as well, So many websites these days are infected, and they install backdoors, and you don't even come to know about that.

    Suggestion: Use Kaspersky 2010 internet security, They have virtual keyboard that helps you lock down your keylogs. Its pretty good for Paypal, and your netbanking login stuff...

    Its really your mistake buddy. Either you saved your password on roboform or browser or someone gave your phishing link of paypal and you entered your logins there. In that way the hacker might have received your paypal details.

    Simply change the paypal logins quickly and try to file dispute at paypal stating all your issues. Hope paypal listen to you.

    Kaspersky with original key is really a good one, never faced any problem while used before CA is also fine but no virtual keyboard
