Damn, that sucks. I was lucky enough to only have $80 worth of porn site charges on mine after about a year of PayPal. Sadly, those charges were not mine, and I never got to see the porn.

That was a sad day for us all.:disgust:

Just to clarify, I did not have fraudulent paypal charges, I had fraudulent charges on the card that is registered at paypal.

Two transactions on the same day, the first was small, like they were testing to see if the card was good or even checking the limit on the card, the next charge put my card $300.00 over my limit

Prizemasters was the first charge, around $50.00

Then some power tool company for around $5950.00

Really freaked me out when I went to check my balance, had about $2500.00 on it last I knew, I was ready to call my wife and ask her WTF DID YOU BUY? when I saw that it was a power tool company.

This was one small part of a very odd day

So what does PayPal have to do with it?

The card in question has been collecting dust in my desk for about six months, one week after I used that card at paypal I have these charges pop up.

Googled "Prizemasters" and it is a frichen Australian Lotto site.

Most likely source of the CC#'s compromise.

evadman, I used it at paypal

I dont think the merchant I ask paypal to pay ever deals with the credit card part of the transaction, that is, if I ask paypal to pay an ebay member for a sale, that member never gets the credit card info, see?
(this is only an example, I did not use paypal to pay ebay)

Did you scan your computer for viruses?

Gotcha. I thought your PayPal charge # got stolen. My bad.

Possibly, but more likely someone with access to the credit card numbers on file at paypal, not necessarily authorized access.
