My PayPal has been hacked :( .. All money gone :(

Hello,
Today I just saw that my PayPal has been hacked and somebody has sent $185 to his paypal from my account as a donation, this is the 2nd time this has happened, 1st Time I recovered my funds but this time , I have done unauthorized claim, Can you all help me in how to get back the funds ?

Thanks !

 

You shouldn't be speaking with anyone other than Paypal about this issue.

 

Ah that's crap, have you been getting emails telling you to login or anything recently?

If I ever get an email from paypal I delete it and log in manually - even if it's legit.

It's not worth the risk in today's world.

 

WOW, I started an unauthorized claim and got the money back within 10 minutes. Cool

 

If you were hacked once, I'll say it is bad luck but if you were hacked twice then something is seriously wrong. Scan your computer for any trojan or keylogger or anything which would allow others to gain your password to your paypal account or your computer.

 

Its great to hear that you got your money back. If I were you I would only back up important files that you know are legit and reboot your computer back to factory settings.

 

This is the second time,
1st Time I recovered $40 in 5 Minutes
2nd Time I recovered $185 in 10 Minutes

PayPal Rocks, But another bad news is that my E-Gold account is deleted and I had $1500 in that....

 

If you're accounts are getting hacked/jacked/cracked or whatever. You need to find out what the flaw is. Seriously do that now, or risk losing even more money. You got lucky this time with PayPal but most (reasonably smart) thieves would move the money straight the bank account or spend it and you wouldn't be able to transfer the money back.

 

Why you let your account hacked so many times? do you know how they hacked it?

 

i think you are not serious enough, as far as money is concerned..go get bitdefender and spyware.

 

Nice to hear that you have got your money back. It is your good luck.

 

I agree... You could also have ZONE Alarm the Internet Suite package.

And as always try checking those protection if they are Enabled.. Sometimes they get disabled also for some reason which is I don't know. Bitdefender used to be like that.

 

there are so many ways of reason why you have been hacked.

1st: you click a lot of links and you didn't notice that you get virus named (trojan horse)
this virus will get all of your information such as paypal e-gold info. i was hacked too but in my e-gold not in paypal.

you have to call the paypal now and report this one. im sure you will get your money. but if the person uses the money already. he will get negative - balance.

 

thats why i never keep more than 25$ in my account.its low i know but its safe.

 

Also it happened to me once but not paypal it was dp account,adsense account,adwords account.after that i used kaperskey antivirus which detects viruses and even trojans in a jiffy.I recommend it to you.

 

Definitely need to change password and scan your computer for any spyware. What kind of protection software you running? Also don't reply to emails from paypal even when they ask you to log in to verify data. Emails like this are all spoof as paypal will never send emails requesting you to log in or otherwise. If you feel the need to check your account type paypal.com in your url bar.

 

I am very paranoic about these things, I would full formay my pc, change my paypal password with a very strong pass with symbolds letters and numbers.

And be carefull with scam emails... filter the email if you have to.

 

Lol i dont believe it at all.. as most of the time they will investigate a case first. before you could claim back. 10 minutes? gives a laugh
