On July 7th, someone gained access to my Paypal account and converted my USD to Yen. Then they stole my entire account balance of $488USD. Then, strangely, I began getting unauthorized deposited into my account. These unsuspecting buyers were paying for iPhones. I do not sell iPhones. They , of course, thought I was the bad guy. Understandable. These deposits were supposedly misdirected by the same thief so as to "cover up" the theft, I guess. My account got up to over $5,000. Eventually, Paypal reversed all of the unauthorized deposits but now I am left with my empty Paypal account. I cannot seem to make Paypal get involved and trace the theft of my funds. My only lead is this: On the same day, my wife used my account to buy some headsets from headsets.com. I interrogated her relentlessly asking her about every keystroke. She swears she did not click on any emails from the vendor with "receipts" or "confirmations" or "requests for sign-in info". My only thought is that some employee fo the headsets.com company got ahold of the account and somehow busted through the security and got in my account. I don't know how they did it. Has anything like this happened to anyone out there? Any suggestions? Note: I have been doing this eBay/Paypal thing for about 15 years. I am an experienced user. My wife, a little less so. Comments anyone?
