Title: Suspicious money sending on Paypal
Post by: Gupgup on Tue, 16 April 2013, 22:27:07
Hey everyone, I just got a notification that I sent $25 to a 韩 栋, I did not send this money and am opening a ticket with Paypal.

Does anyone know who this is or if they are on GH? I have their email but I don't think I should post it in here.

I'm also wondering what the success rate is with getting money back after opening a ticket, and what I can do to make it go smoother.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I mean they are a great system to use. I've never had any trouble with them. I did change my password, but I think if he wanted to take money from my bank account he would of. He only took the exact amount that was in my paypal..


Hmmm.. this is weird. I definitely did not send any money today, I would have remembered. I haven't even been on Paypal today..

Ugh I hate when stuff like this happens  :'(

Well this is really fantastic, money is already returned to my account as paypal decided in my favor :D

Yay, that was really anti-climatic in a good way!

Thanks everyone!

did someone access your account and sent money, or did you get charged, or did you mom buy something from Taobao?
