THIS has REALLY **** me off. It's not my credit card and not my money.

£100 gone that isn't even mine.

Do i just use <a href='https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact-general' target='_blank'>this to report it</a>?

If not, what do i do?

    if it isn't your money, how could <i>you</i> be robbed of it (j/k)

    seriously that sucks, was it your parents money? or a friends

    i haven't used paypal before, so i have no idea about this kind of thing

    Huzzah. £610 and $30 stolen in total.

    Contacted Paypal and bank and they stopped it. Quick service <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Stupid tbh. Good updated Virus scanner and Firewall would have stopped the problem.

    Did you get the money back ? I would press a lawsuit if I was you, the money has to go somewhere and Paypal should know where (if it does not happen to be a swiss number account).
