GRRRRRRR!

On Saturday as I was laying around with the stomach flu I received an email from Paypal . It was a receipt for a transaction. hmmmmm! After checking with everyone in the vicinity, the email was checked again and another email from Paypal saying "we have reason to believe that your paypal account was accessed by a third party." NICE. After logging into Paypal we discovered that ~2~ unauthorized transactions were made. Both were to gaming sites.......... So we are in the process of two investigations and hopefully will not be out a little over $100. We've been around long enough to know not to follow phishing sites so probably some little geek that gets a thrill out of hacking generated our password, which was promptly changed. However the game continues as we look for ways to make our online experience more secure and keep the little buggers out.

Argh indeed. We have not quite gotten to that point, but we did get those bogus emails and had to change our password. I'm sorry that you have to hassle with this!
