Hi it's lucky I check all my accounts daily an I have just be devasted hurt an angry to see someone at 1.50am this morning had used my account to buy an item off gum tree they never left a delivery address on it but the bad thing is I only had £10 on my paypal account so the rest has all come directly out of my bank account!! Leaving me with 2 direct debts due to come out but now no money in my account. Have not got a clue how anyone can get my pay pal account I gave now changed all my passwords an secret questions. I want to know were the item what ever the **bleep** it is going...... its disgusting and disgraceful how someone can do something like this to people so near to Christmas all I've done is cry x

Have you filed a dispute for unauthorised use of your paypal account to try and recoup the funds??

 

Have you run an anti-virus scan on your computer??
