Hi everyone,
Tonight, my wife and I received a text message from our bank (Chase) alerting us to a potential fraudulent charge on our checking account from a company called Xoom for nearly $700. Upon Googling this company, it appears that they are some sort of wire transfer service affiliated with PayPal. While we do use PayPal for eBay and various other online purchases, neither one of us have ever heard of this Xoom company and this charge certainly was not from either of us. The charge was on my wife's debit card, which is the one that we have attached to our PayPal account. We just got off the phone with our bank and they did mark the charge as fraudulent and closed out my wife's card and will mail her a new one, but this has us very concerned. Has anyone else ever experienced fraudulent withdrawals from this company? Did they somehow get our info through our PayPal account? We have been using PayPal for nearly 20 years and nothing like this has ever happened before, but now we worry that it may not be all that secure. This was a very large withdrawal they made from our account and now we have to wait possibly several days to get it back as Chase has to investigate it. VERY aggravating.
