Re: Unauthorized Payments to Microsoft Corporation

SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!  And after reading all of your guys posts....it's a shame that this is a ongoing problem that Pay Pal has not fixed?? You would think after all of the disputes from US victims....Pay Pal would NOT ALLOW any funds to be withdrawn to any MICROSOFT CORPORATION?? Whether the person has money or no money in their account!  Why do I feel Pay Pal is involved in this?  Either they are in it or they are just too dumb and don't care on how to fix the problem.     I also got two emails saying I got money sent to me... the first email saying I got money in the amount of $55.06 from gigistutu's and the second email saying I got money in the amount of $30.55 from gigitutu's.  Then immediately the funds were reversed from my account (as if I never got the money) and gigitutu's placed a hold on both amounts.  Then I get an email saying I authorized a payment to Microsoft Corporation in the amount of $49.99, then another email saying I authorized a payment to Microsoft Corporation in the amount of $19.99, then one more email saying I authorized a payment to Microsoft Corporation in the amount of $4.99 ...for a total of $74.97!!!  In my case I didnt have any funds in my account so naturally my account is overdrawn!     I immediately changed my password, canceled any future authorized payments to Microsoft Corporation (never authorized such a thing in the first place), disputed all 3 transactions, and even emailed them since this happened on a Sunday evening so their offices are closed.  I am going to call first thing and make Pay Pal resolve this!!! It's obvious that this is a total SCAM and Pay Pal hasnt done anything to stop it!  Why can't they just freeze or NOT let any transactions with the name MICROSOFT CORPORATION go through?? And just tell people if they need to make a REAL payment to the REAL MICROSOFT CORPORATION legit company.....to just make a different method of payment!   Well, I guess I will be calling Pay Pal first thing tomorrow morning....GREAT!           ...
