i think paypal will surely return all the funds back to your account however you should contact those members who have been in that thread and get the forum where he was asking everyone to post
Be also sure to renew your paypal password regulary and make it as difficult as possible. For the rest, use updated virus-scanners, firewall and programs that blocks stealing personnal information (spyware, ....) Greetings Jason
Change your password then file disputes on those transactions, and if no answer is heard, then upgrade it to a claim. PayPal will generally automatically refund the sellers money with a claim.
I received one of the payments back...the $2.50 from falguni1. I also heard back from namecheap.com as I emailed them directly as well as going through Paypal with an unauthorised transaction claim. They have locked his account and I will be getting my money back. That's the last time I will be visiting any websites linked from these forums...very disappointing.
thats great that you got one payment back I am sure you will get all of them back but plz don't blame dp for this its a market place there are scammers in every market and even it might not be because of dp that you lost your paypal account so many members tried to help you in every way they can it can happen in any forum no one can do anything about it you have to take precautions for this
I'm not going to stop going to the fair just because of a few pickpockets. I'll just keep my wallet zipped-up tighter.
Hey I like that analogy. Even though I don't really care for the fair. I'm glad you are getting it worked out scozzie
Well everything happens for a reason, you must have been careless in somewhere which has leaded hackers to get your password. Try relating some issues which may be possible for the leak of your password.
I haven't been careless...I mentioned in my thread in the General forum that I did a full scan and fouond "trojan.horst" which is the culrpit. It is one that you get from visiting a website... SO this leads me to ask...was it a PURE (AMAZING) coincidence that someone on DP (out of everyone on the internet) managed to access my account detaisl with this trojan and use it to pay people on DP...I think not...I believe I visited a website linked from DP forums and got the trojan. I'm not blaoming DP...they are great forums...I'm blaming the scamming, hacking scum that are on here... I've emailed the guy, sent a PM on his own forum, but he hasn't sent anything back...how cowardly....
I don't think it's a coincidence. I asked earlier but you maybe missed it. What browser were you using, Scozzie?
I'm Glad to hear your getting your money back i was Keylogged for $300 and i only got a portion refunded to me by paypal like $190 ish It was better then nothing i have herd horror stories about people losing thousands of dollors beforei don't wish that on anyone...... -Chris
I'm glad you made this thread, because it has prompted me to get better security on my computer, so you may have helped others by talking about it. One thing I hope is that Paypal will report him to the local legal authorities. This is not a small matter, this is serious fraud, and he could see some jail time for this.
wow! i would be really frustrate and furious too! how did they even get into your paypal account?? i just made a paypal account and i heard its very safe....now i have doubts about it (-_-)
