vlydog Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I just received this notice from PayPal. Hello BXXXX XXXXXXXR You have successfully signed up for a subscription to Just Host Hosting / Domain Package using PayPal. Your first subscription payment, for $118.80 USD, has already been sent to Just Host Ltd.. Can a moderator please chime in as to its validity. Thank you. Is this for membership?

freddy333 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 This sounds like the auto-renewal for RWG membership, which I thought had been discontinued (in favor of manual renewals). Or am I mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 my renewal takes place in April also the fee was suspicious 118.80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 This sounds very much like what happened to me a couple of years ago. Someone managed to somehow get a hold of my PayPal account and used to buy pre-paid domain hosting. I was able to get PayPal to reverse the charges, but it took almost a month for my account to be unfrozen and returned to normal. It's not usually the hosting company that is doing tthis but some individual that managed to crack into your account. My suggestion is to immediately call PayPal, and have them dispute the charge with the hosting company. at the same time, you'll need to put a temp on any transactions on your account and change all the passowrds. Good luck to you, I know what this is like. The got me for nearly $600 when it happened to me, but I was lucky and got my money back.

freddy333 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 That being the case, I would agree with Dudemeister - contact Paypal asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 This is NOT RWG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 This is NOT RWG. So here you go vlydog, the confirmation you needed. THis is almost surely an attempt to hijack you PayPal account. COntact them immediately and get this taken care of. Remember your PP account is tied to your bank account or credit cards, etc. They (the hackers) can clean you and you bank account in mere seconds if left unattended. Let us know how this turns out. We wish you the best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 This is why my paypal is hooked to a separate free checking account that I only deposit money into as I need it. Only takes a couple of dollars to keep it open. The credit card associated is cancelled as well. Have to be very careful with online banking.

maxman Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Man this sounds scary. I only use my cc for PP transactions. I would rather pay a Interest fee than go through something like this. I wish you the best of luck with this situation. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
