I'm the next to have this act of fraud to interfere in my practice of conducting business within the terms of interstate commerce statute. This might be a Federal offense. On 9.30.2010 - I received two e-mails from Paypal stating "You've sent a payment of $29.99 USD to Valve Corp., and you'll be billed with Bill Me Later® through your PayPal account." These were both' unauthorized purchases' made out to "Valve Corp". The purchased item's were described to be software titled "Battlefield Bad Company 2 Standard Edition". ------------ Later I received, a single e-mail stating the following message: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection. Case ID Number: PP-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX For your protection, we have limited access to your account until additional security measures can be completed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To review your account and some or all of the information that PayPal used to make its decision to limit your account access, please visit the Resolution Center. If, after reviewing your account information, you seek further clarification regarding your account access, please contact PayPal by visiting the Help Center and clicking "Contact Us". ------------------------ I changed the Paypal password. I logged into the resolution center - and found an additional' two deposits, that also have no relevance to my account - both were reported to Paypal on October 1st 2010. I now have four transactional matters to be reviewed by Paypal. ---------------------- I on September 30th,2010 - contacted Bill Me Later. They were notified of the initial two' unauthorized purchases that drew from my BML / WebBank account. The BML representitive claimed I would probably see them drop off the BML account because of my Disputes at Paypal. The next day on October 1st, 2010, I logged in to BML. I notice the Charges had not dropped off of the account - instead they Both "Posted" thereby blocking any further purchasing because of a high balance I maintain on the account. So I called again to BML. They in turn closed the account this time as a 30 day investigation was initiated. I will most likely be filling an affidavit before to long. I was able to open another line of credit that allows access to BML from another online Merchant to continue with my purchase. __ I had civilian authorities into my apartment to review later on the 1st of October 2010. I was told that they were not going to be claiming jurisdiction over the event of fraud. I believe this might make for a fitting FBI case.
