Anyone ever been scammed before?

Some how my paypal account was compromised and 2 echecks were sent for over 630 dollars. I filled out their dispute claims and will wait to see if I get my money back or if I am fucked.

Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this, especially with paypal?

Also if you feel like spamming or anything... these are the fucks that did it:

That is a decent chunk of change if I am fucked....

The interesting thing is that they issued a check from my bank account, so the money went from my bank to them, and never entered my paypal account.

That's what happens when you reply to those fake paypal phishing emails. You fell for them.

Actually I don't. I've used paypal once in the past year for payments received and that is all. When I goto places with my account, especially with money, I manually type in the address.

Thanks for failing at the facts.

Hire a hitman on there ass!

Reason #2102949 why I don't use PayPal. I'm convinced the whole operation is a fucking scam.

All I know is that once this all blows over I will be removing my account information.

Send them some poo. It's a good way to let businesses know you're fucked off with their service and aren't taking it anymore.

Good luck.

www.paypalsucks.com - seriously. I'm sure you're not the first (and not the last). check it out.

My experience with scampal has been nothing short of horrific. I refuse to deal with them unless no other option exists and I am limiting my risks. If your paypal claim does not yeild a result, file a complaint with your state attorney general and consumer protection bureau. you'd be surprised how qukickly sh!t gets done when u get authorities involved.

Sorry for being a complete arse, but what is the alternative?

In light of these stories I'd love to find something other than PayPal, but if you're buying from ebay and discogs often, as I do, what else can you use?
