So, my PayPal was hacked...

We just set PayPal up at our office, and our computer tech gave us a great tip:

Set up a bank account - a real cheapo, $5 month or something - and use that as the PayPal account.

That way, you can transfer money from there into your REAL (main) bank account; your main account won't get hit.

Hope you get this cleared up ASAP!

That is an excellent idea! I think I may do that. Actually I may have it linked to one account that I don't use much anymore. I will have to check into it. I'm terribly sorry this happened to you Jenn. Please let us know if you find out who did it or how it happened.

Oh, that's a good idea. I could start a new acct. at Bank of America. I hate them, I really do. I just hate the hassle of switching banks, that's the only reason I haven't moved to a different bank. I have payroll going in there, my car insurance comes out automatically, a bunch of stuff. It's just a hassle. When I joined the bank, it wasn't BOA, but Fleet. Of course, they got bought out, just like all the other small banks are.

I'm going to check out some of the other banks in the area, and what their fees and things are.

I just feel like neither the bank or PayPal are really concerned.
