Evil Bay/Pay Pal

[desmond197]

Just a friendly reminder to those that still buy on Ebay. Paypal is not secure. Have a sepperate bank account or single use credit card. Do not give PayPal a debit card number ever. I just got $400 taken out of my account by a scammer. PayPal says they will correct it in 90 days. This is the third time in 10 years.

I hate Ebay and PayPal

How did they gain access to your account? I have used PayPal for almost every transaction imaginable for years, and only had one incident that I was double charged at an ATM and they credited me back within a day while they investigated the charges. PayPal will never send you an email asking you to log on, but many scammers will. Mike

I am in the same boat as Mike as I use Paypal all the time and have not had a problem.  I do get email from scamers telling me to update my paypal account.

The first two times it was an inside job at Paypal form what a friend that worked there told me. Probably same thing this time.
