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 ed.
Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this, especially with paypal?
Also if you feel like spamming or anything... these are the s that did it:

That is a decent chunk of change if I am ed.... |

| 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. |

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 ed 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? |
