well earlier tonight i got scammed out of nearly £700, on a transaction i had no idea about

some scummy little scrote has spent this sum on a laptop off ebay

so had a call off paypal asking if i had made this transaction, answer was no, so paypal are dealing with it, so in the mean time i froze my bank account just to be safe

ive also emailed the seller of the item making them aware they wont be receiving the money

so as you can guess i somewhat look liek this atm ===>


grrrr

Bugger . Sorry to hear that you've suffered the curse of eBay. Don't worry too much, PayPal are usually pretty good at sorting this thing out, and hopefully you will have your £700 quid back before you can say "I'm gonna cut of the b******'s ballsack!"

Two questions for you to consider

How did they get your paypal details and password?

Have you changed your password?

F*@k me Chad, if you didn't have bad luck you'd have no luck at all*!

Glad your getting it sorted, both of you, but it's a hassle we could all do without.

Probably time for a lesson on strong passwords.....

If you have a password that's a dictionary password it can be cracked in seconds. If you add numbers to the end or start it can be cracked in minutes.
You get the idea.

Use phrases and shorten them.... replace letters with numbers, i.e. L's with 1's and E's with 3's.

So IlovemyKTM! becomes 1lov3myKTM! which is nice and secure and memorable.
