Happened to me Aug 8, 2 41.00 payments made into account, 1 49.99 made out, the first of the 41. payments was held, email saying so was in the same minute as the you've got money, so 8.99 got taken from my credit card. I changed password and questions on my account, sent a dispute, and removed the credit cards. Today the payment that went through was reversed, my dispute does not show in the resolution center. On further research, I sent another, noting that Microsoft does not appear to take paypal payments, the contact number is microsoft's international PR number, no one a customer would call, but a reporter from another country, the billing description is "E. Ave." (empire avenue? if so unrelated to microsoft) etc. This is obviously a fraudulent account, and paypal is negligent in allowing accounts to be set up with major company names like microsoft without automatically placing a hold on the account creation or name change until a live person contacts the corporation to verify.
