How did they get into your account?

I don't think they are assholes if they could do that.
They are theives and low lifes - but, not assholes.
Hope you are able to rectify the whole thing with little effort.

I had a bunch of outgoing mail evaporate in April. It must have been stolen from my mailbox, and the guy who got my checks used the account number and routing number to open an account. On Ghetto Gaggers.com, where black chicks suck white dicks. No lie. For 30 bucks a month. So I got an inept petty crook and my money back and a good laugh and pay as many bills online as I can now.

Mr. Showtimeness tells me I need to update my PayPal information, or my account has been suspended due to suspicious activity and click the link to reactivate it. Like I have PayPal. I don't do eBay...littlebeast13 wrote:minimetoo26 wrote:You need my routing number?littlebeast13 wrote:

I wish! I was just in your closet this morning. Can you sell all those oversized stuffed animals you "rescued" from the donation box soon...?MinisKidToBeNamedLater wrote:minimetoo26 wrote:Mr. Showtimeness tells me I need to update my PayPal information, or my account has been suspended due to suspicious activity and click the link to reactivate it.

I am so mad! I feel like I have been raped!
Paypal stopped the transaction. They are investigating the seller.
I have been on hold with eBay forever!

I'd like to see the description of the computer. It takes quite a lot to make a $2000 computer nowadays.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Apparently a lot of people bought $2,000 computers from him today.Rexer25 wrote:Why would they investigate the seller?PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:I am so mad!

It a MacBook Pro 15'' 2.4 / GLSY / 2x2gb / 250 gb New In Box. I got a bargain on shipping, only $1.

I was wondering what that extra dollar was all about! At that price, we're talking grand theft, huh. And probably on the seller's end, too...PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:It a MacBook Pro 15'' 2.4 / GLSY / 2x2gb / 250 gb New In Box. I got a bargain on shipping, only $1.

I'm sorry this happened to you, and you have to go through all the hassle of clearing it up.

So did they stop the perp before he made the purchase or is this an investigation after the fact?PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:From ebay:

Wow. Someone on dial-up or even cable that gets a different IP address all the time would be a huge problem.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:From ebay:

Did they tell you you should get a PayPal Security Key device?
