BEWARE! Skype scam???

Is it your real paypal account or one that you linked through your email? I have had phishing emails that say I owe $. Last week it was for a computer and I emailed it to paypal and they confirmed it was fake!:madbeating

It is my ACTUAL paypal account. The money has been transferred but I don't know if they took it out of my bank account yet because the server is down. Anyway, I filed a claim on all five unauthorized transactions, it's the only thing I can do up to this point.

Paypal is down? Email them immediately. Is that how you filed your claim? And delete your card off of there so that the acct can't be hacked again. Start changing your password more frequently. Oh I am so sorry this has hppened.

I didn't mean paypal was down, I meant my bank account was down. I'm sorry too... I've changed my password and even username to every account I own. I can't believe this happened either.... cry

Capital One. It's not an atm or credit card, it's my actual account so they're closed for the weekend.
I can't even delete my accounts off paypal because I have "pending transactions." FUCK!

I am trying to give every idea that pops into my head. Maybe one will work.

I can't close my paypal account because besides those skype transactions, I still have other transactions pending (from actual buyers and sellers). I've filed a claim against the skype transactions and I'll keep my eye on my paypal account in case something else should pop up.

This just tops the cake because earlier today, I received a pair of jeans from an ebay member and it has stains on the back left leg, which she failed to disclose in her auction. I had to email the seller for a refund and I'm waiting for a reply. Hopefully it'll be a smooth transaction because I don't want to have to file a claim against her. *sigh* It's just not my day.

Oh no! You have had a crappy day. I really hate when ebay sellers "forget" to mention stains on their clothes:madbeating
Hopefully your bank will situate this. Email paypal with "skype" info and they should jump on it quick.

I hope you get it all worked out!

Did you fill out any phishing e-mails?

No, after the money is refunded I'm going to look into it. I'm just so glad it was in my favor.
