I had a similar problem, somebody got my paypal password, went on a website and bought a $300 cell phone, but they put the shipping adress to their home adress, paypal sent me an email saying I had to confirm the payment because it seemed "unordinary" I said no, no money missing.

Why is everyone blaming paypal? They only do what they can. The problem is the scammers, not the service. It would be the same thing if someone picked up your credit card on the street and racked up $1405 in a few days. You would call the company and then get pissed at the company for not doing anything, wouldn't you?

There is a very simple solution to this:
Change your passwords often.
Use passwords like "4k5Lg9E." (No, this is not my password.)
NEVER reply to emails asking your password or about any purchase you don't think you made.

For things that don't really matter, like statcounters for my websites and stuff, I leave them the same. But for important things like my PIN number and paypal/bank account passwords, I change them at least once a week.

It's not paypal's fault if you don't practice safe surfing. Now, if someone simply hacked into your account, that would be different.

 

^^^^

what he says ... my password have capitals, numbers in-between and authorized special characters like - or / or _ ... those password can't be broken ... don't use words, that's what hackers are looking for at first ... same thing with the secret question, mine is a cluter f*** of letters numbers and special characters!

 

My password is always DTNs_Love_Monkey. It's never been hacked.
