FYI:
Interesting thing is I just had a friend who just got her paypal account
hacked into, and about three thousand dollars of money transferred to
three different paypal accounts. She has since called Paypal, and the
credit card company to resolve this. They have begun a investigation
into this matter. They were transferring $75-80 into these multiple
accounts every eight minutes. By the time the credit card company
(Discover) caught on they put a stop payment on the charges.
