Got Worms?
Who's had em?
I just lost a few hundred for the next few weeks. I'm not too happy. I am happy because they will be refunded, but its gotta go through paypal dispute bs, and atop of that it'll take 3-6 weeks before i'll get a new paypal debit card.
Oh if some one wants to know the story here it is.
I'm sitting in class, and my phone beeps, i figured it was just an email. But about every 30 seconds it beeped this goes on for a few minutes. So about 10 minutes later i had the chance to check and see what was going on. Well it turned out i had a few hundred yanked out of my paypal account via paypal debit card. It was a $1 charge, then a $70-90 charge. Multiple times in a row, always different big price. Finally my account reached a low balance and declined the rest of attempts. At this time i was enraged with fury in my head, but managed to physically stay clam, finished up the class. Came home got onto paypal seen it was FACEBOOK*CREDITS that was charging my account. I'm thinking WTF i don't even have a face book and have never even considered advertising on facebook. So i call paypal, get some india woman on the phone. I explain what just happened, she must have missed something and asked me what my question was, i told her they were unauthorized transaction (this is the funny part, made my day) she was like "OH, your card has been compromised" i cracked up in my head. She went on and on about disputes and such, it turns out i have to do absoultly nothing and just apply for a new debit card. She said she would file all the disputes and i should receive email notification on whats happening.
Now i know ya'll ask, but only place i use my paypal debit (or any debit card)

Oh wait a sec i did go to wendy's today, who knows what the person was doing while i was in the drive through.
Anyways thats my day, now i'm broke. Anyone else been a victim of this. I'm lucky because paypal student debit cards are covered 100% against any unauthorized transactions, but i still have to come up with a way to pay to ship everything off tomorrow, and manage to order parts. Maybe i'll tap into my savings account, don't feel to comfortable my checking account debit card online though
