Saved, to glorify God.
Good thing I couldn't sleep last night. I heard an e-mail come in at almost 3AM. I decided to check what it was before I finally did try to go to bed and get some sleep. Well, that event ended up keeping me up all night.
I went to my e-mail and it said "You have money in your Paypal acct." and it described somebody I never heard of had deposited some few GBP(British money-pounds) into my paypal acct. I went to Paypal to find out what was going on and HOLY SMOKE the rebate was on some purchase made a couple hours before by someone else. Thieves had hacked my Paypal acct. and had been busy making purchases on the BRITISH E-BAY for the last four hours. (I think, if the time is 11:20PM when they began and 2:39 am when the final transaction , I think, occurred) Luckily, there were only 8 transactions, but had I gone to bed, or not checked it they would have continued on their spending spree on MY credit card for who knows how long. As it is I have several hundred dollars in transactions to try to get taken off my credit card. I reported the card stolen at 3AM and took it off Paypal.
E-Bay keeps excellent records and I have a name and address in Lancashire England of where the stuff was to be sent, BUT MY SISTER TOLD ME THAT SHE SAW ON "60 MINUTES" THAT THIEVES, ESPECIALLY NIGERIAN, HAVE STOLEN CREDIT CARD PURCHASES SENT TO HIRED REMAILERS WHO FORWARD THE STOLEN LOOT TO THE THEIVES. I just wish that re-mailing crap was made illegal.
Anyway, when I called Paypal, they said "It is not your fault, these guys are professionals." I am very careful with all that CC stuff and my computer.
So, in hopes that IF these guys hacked YOUR account you catch it BEFORE too much damage is done I ADVISE YOU TO GO CHECK PAYPAL AND DO IT REGULARLY. I was surprised that I never got an e-mail from Paypal with the purchases, like I usually do. I only got an e-mail with that last seller's tiny partial refund going to my account.
By the way I e-mailed everyone who had sold these thieves anything on MY credit card and told them NOT TO SHIP THE ITEM TO THE THEIVES AS THEY PROBABLY WOULD NOT GET TO KEEP THE MONEY, AS I WAS CHALLENGING IT. A couple sellers thanked me and said they had not shipped yet. THEY ALL should not have shipped yet, since I notified them within four hours of the sale.
I WISH I knew how to report this theft to the BRITISH POLICE and have them go to that address in Lancashire and check out the guy receiving the stolen goods. Anyone know how to report a crime to BRITISH POLICE?
