last night about 9pm i had my paypal account hacked into.

it was weird as they were drawing about 400gbp (AU$815) out of my account every couple of min and then also someone else deposited $8000us into my account. luckily i was on my pc at the time and rang paypal to sort it out. i dont know how they got my details to hack into it as i check my pc for viruses and nothing. i also havent used paypal for months. since then ive had to shut down my bank accounts and now have to change shit i wouldnt normally do.

seems like its a money laundering scheme from one country to another but tryin to invole me into it. the only way i knew about this was the fact that paypl was sending me emails and they just started rolling in. some of the maney even was forwarded onto skype. i dont even have a skype account so WTF???

pplz plz beware this may happen to u.

can I ask where you use the paypal at ?,ebay or ?.... some setup phony web pages that use the same looks as ebay etc. then capture your details that way,

or screen/key capture software , see's all and is invisible to the average users. even the standard virus scanner and MS defender wont find it to clean it.

you need serious scanners to find and remove. the one I use for Vista/XP is actually off the hackers Mag DVD, Twister,, finds everything you can imagine and fixes it. but not for the average person to use.

watch out , check to see if your browser is on HTTPS not HTTP when you log into secure sites ? the S is for secure or at least attempt at secure...lol

nothing is safe , just use common sense and and pay attention to things like that

do not click on links or open files from anyone unknown or Scandy..lol

sucks mate, hope the nigerian drug son of rajab doesn't screw you

WooHoo :(

The exact same thing happened to me.

I don't use paypal but have an account.

Recieved 4 notifications last night about eCheques bring drawn from my account for different amount in AUD, AMD, EUR and Pounds to the value of about $14,000.

Can't contact PayPal until tomorrow call centre not open on a Sunday.

yes its bullshit. i have nothing in my account either but you can link it to you savings account. i also rang my bank and told them to block it all and also my internet banking just incase. not worth playing with as i am tryin to save for a house. hense y im selling my skyline.

Out of curiosity...

Same password for Paypal, Ebay?

Do you use the same password for various forums or sites you sign up to?

IMO using an email address to sign in to a financial website is a major security risk.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
