    Re: My PayPal Account Hacked - Bank Account Drained

    I didn't do anything with the emails. I just got home, checked my email, saw 10 of the following messages, and then checked my paypal account. Thats when I saw the charges.




    尊敬的 Myfirstname mylastname,

    本电子邮件确认您已经使用贝宝支付给Skype (billing@skype.net)  500 EUR。

    此次购物的汇率为1 USD = 0.726998EUR

    付款详情

    交易号: 4Wxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    物品价格: 500.00 EUR
    总计:  500.00 EUR
    账单号: 203xxxxxx
    买家: Myfirstname mylastname
    Then there was one email where they "reversed" the charge, but it wasn't reversed at all, it was just another charge. I have a feeling they did the first 10 transfers, and since they went through, they tried to do it another time, but that one wouldn't clear or something, so thats why it was a reversed charge (not a refund).

    So the emails looked just like phishing emails, yet they were just the receipts that PayPal sends you to notify you of a transaction. I'm probably going to close down my PayPal account here once this is all done and not use it again. Which means a hassle since I won't be able to buy stuff on eBay as easily, but its a workaround I'd rather deal with than having this happen again.

    Those are a lot more detailed than any of mine. It shows up on my powerbook, but not on my pc that the above question marks in my sample email are actually Chinese characters. No other contact information whatsoever, just what I typed in.
