FYI:
I received an email claiming to be a receipt sent from PayPal on Friday night 7/11/14 at 10.36pm.
The email had an attachment in the format of a word document. Like an idiot
I opened the attachment to find details of a transaction that claimed I had purchased 200 disposable puppy toilet training mats for approximately $36+. I can't remember the exact amount.
I have made no such purchase.
I went straight to my PayPal account to see if it had been compromised but there was no such transaction registered. I immediately changed my PayPal password.
I have logged in to my PayPal account a few times since, under my new password, but still no transaction is showing for this bogus transaction.
I have emailed PayPal to report the incident.
I am still kicking myself for being stupid enough to open the **bleep** attachment
