I never click on links or subscribe to anything but my PayPal account was just hacked.
Just to let you all know to check your PayPal account and call them if there are any unauthorised purchases.
Or check your email, I received 2 receipts for purchases I didn't make.
PayPal immediately put a stop on my account and I changed password.
They also suggested I call the bank and put a temporary block on my card which I did.
Someone purchased an expensive camera tripod and stun guns using my PayPal and having them sent to Russia.
First time this has happened to me but PayPal were terrific.
I also reported the ebay listings as they appear to have been hijacked.

Kopes how on earth do you think this happened?

when ppl receive receipts from paypal for transactions
they didnt make they sometimes panic and go to their
pp account via the links provided. always check your
account via paypal webiste just in case.
people still get caught out because the emails look so
authentic.

oh dear Kopes! ![]()
I'm glad you got onto it quicky, but they alreeady did some damage. Will you get your money back?
the first few times I got emails saying I'd purchased something I hadn't, I just logged into PP via eBay to check that I hadn't. Now I just delete those emails as soon as I get them
