Paypal. Someone Pranked me...

Someone sent me some $ using a phised account and this is what is happening to me. I don't even know who would do such a thing. I already replied to paypal to check the IP logs of the other guys account or something.

sorry to hear that
what did paypal reply you?

 

asking them to check the IP logs of the account and explaining to them, what may have happened.

 

I dont get it. Do you usually do such transactions?

 

Why did someone send you $500, a service or product? Did you already send it to them? It totally sucks, and there isn't really anything you can do about it.

 

nope. never sold anything. and don't do such later transactions. I fell that someone used a phised account and did such a thing.

 

sorry for what happen mate.

what did the paypal told you ?

 

But why would someone send you $500? They would lose it if they sent it to you....unless....unless....they have your password as well???

 

this is done everyday.. and everyday lots of merchant get payment from stolen paypal account or stolen credit card payment.... which cause a great pain....
