Yep seems my dear, dear hubby did something on eBay and some thieves stole or hacked into my email account. From there they got into my Paypal account and transferred thousands of dollars out of my account to theirs. Oh but it gets so much worse.
With the access to Paypal they now had access to my Master card, and my Visa, ran up thousands on bids through eBay and destroyed my credit rating. Amazon was the next target a another several thousand dollars of business there.
Up next Target and my Target charge card.
I will say B of A stepped up the plate and worked with us all thru the weekend to get everything resolved and Amazon and Target the same.
I am still having issues with Paypal and eBay. Mainly sellers who says I did buy stuff and owe them money. I went down to the local police station and have filed a report. So each time a new seller shows up demanding money I email them a copy of my claim on file with ebay and a copy of the police report.
This whole thing will blow over and eventually things will get back to normal, it's just I feel so violated. The worst of the worst is I am a systems manager. I protect our company daily from these types of attacks. And yet one weak moment in my husband and next thing you know I'm a victim.
Talk about a learning experience. I hope none of you EVER have to go thru this. I want to remind everyone to change their passwords often. Run anti-virus software often along with spyware. Also if you have IE 7.0 installed make sure the 'phishing' feature is activated.
Billy I am so glad to hear Fredia is doing better. I just read thru that post and so sorry to hear of what all you've been going thru. **hugs**
