How else are you going to transact online business?<BR/><BR/>I was recently the victim of credit card fraud. Most of my friends have been too. Did they stop putting their money in banks or stop using Visa or MasterCard or whoever? Nah. You just have to learn your lesson, work harder to protect yourself, and hope it doesn't happen again.<BR/><BR/>If you cancel your PayPal account, you may as well cancel all your accounts, keep your money in the mattress, and have people send you money orders for any of your business transactions. If you have an employer, you'd probably want to tell them that you're now only accepting your salary in cash... but then hope you don't get mugged.<BR/><BR/>Digital, analog, or otherwise, there is always someone looking to steal from others. It's part of life, and part of living in the world of the Internet means that you have to accept this fact and do <B>your</B> best to protect <B>yourself</B>, rather than expecting others to do it for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434154391188819581.post-23263211269776582122008-08-29T10:47:00.000-05:002008-08-29T10:47:00.000-05:00or, maybe you can not be so horribly negative &...or, maybe you can not be so horribly negative & realize that things like this happen in life. there are people out there who - for whatever reason - steal from others. the fact that someone hacked into your account and stole your money multiple times is not the fault of PayPal. yes, they could have dealt with the situation better and that individual woman who helped you the first time around could have been "nicer," but guess what, they have a business to run and money to protect, too, and I guarantee you that they took your claim (and others like it) VERY seriously. If they didn't, they certainly wouldn't still be in business and be the most popular online money management site in the entire world.<BR/><BR/>It sucks what happened and I don't disagree that it's horrible that people, like you, who are essentially punished & fined for the things that other people do (much like someone breaking into your house & you have to pay to fix that window and replace what they stole) - have to stop their comfortable, lovely lives and make a phone call or two every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>Leave PayPal if you want, but going around preaching that it's evil and that everyone else should follow your lead is a bit ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434154391188819581.post-51116282246702601332008-08-17T15:49:00.000-05:002008-08-17T15:49:00.000-05:00Oh Keri....this is sooo wrong!!I just read the thr...Oh Keri....this is sooo wrong!!<BR/>I just read the thread on SCS about this, then I went to see if you had anything new for me to see on your blog (hint, hint....LOL!!), and I come across your story!

I don't have my main checking account hooked up to Paypal and I don't have auto draft protection on it. When ever I need to use Paypal, I can transfer the funds to that account from my main account. I wished you had been given that advice before this happened to you. Thank goodness for Discover their attitude makes the rest somewhat bearable. Hopefully your bank will have intellegent people who are easy to deal with when you go. I would open a new account right away and transfer you remain money out of that account right away.Jacki Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577724486441963956noreply@blogger.com
