So, my PayPal was hacked...

Still no word from the company. PayPal has emailed them twice, but no one has responded.

I looked it up, and after a lot of searching, and web pages that couldn't be accessed, I've found out that the company is Korean. Not sure what kind of resolution this will have.

I am going to my bank tomorrow with the paperwork I have thus far, and I hope they will give me credit for the overdrafts that were caused by this fraudulent transaction.

Someone purporting to be Paypal tried to phish me a few months ago. It was a fail; my Paypal was linked to another email!

Seeing as how this 1 1/2 year old thread got bumped, now I'm curious.

Jen, how did the situation work out in the end??

I get emails from pay pal all the time wanting me to update my information and they even provide a link to it for me to click on..... Thing is I don't have a PP account and never have..

Somehow, these people phished your account. If not through a email then throug a mirrow sight that you thought was PP... I think that is what happened due to the password you said you use... OR it is someone you know that found your password..

I am unclear on one point... Pay Pal and the Bank of America.. (since I never have had a PP account) Does PP put your money in BOA and you get a statement from the BOA and not PP? Just how are the 2 connected is what I am asking I guess..

As PayPal says, they will NEVER ask for account information by email, and even if they DO email you, they will call you by name, not 'dear PayPal client" or etc.

Here's where to send the offending emails: [email protected] Include all the headers.
