Edge Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 It would appear that I like Josh have been subject to a Pypal Hijacking. Some asshat has stolen my Business PP account. I have £400+ in it from Genuine Parts Sales that I owe my business partner, and.....yes.....It's all FU**ING GONE. Some complete areshole has stolen all my money, they hacked my account and are holding me ransom over it. I got a email from the hijackers today saying that they want more cash or they are gonna close the account. Well I like the US don't bargain with Hijackers, especially ones who can't even speak english properly. I am in contact with pp at the moment to try and resolve this, but they are being their usual Helpfull selves. It looks like I am gonna be out my £400+ that I owe the parts supplier and will have to reach into my savings for this debt. This is a heads up to the rest of you that this [censored] happens for real and it could happen to anyone. I am [censored] RAGING, and pp are doing naff all to help me. My personal account is safe, so I will still be able to function, but that's not the point I am out a [censored] load of cash and am barely making anything on the sales as it is cos I am just trying to help out. If this is what trying to help folks gets then F**K It, especially on the day that the 1680 arrives, how about that for a kick in the teeth. My altruistic efforts have materialised in the form of Dutchy's 1680 and the I get [censored] on by some retarded non english speaking asshat. This life SUCKS!!!! Anyway rant over just thought I would give y'all a heads up that this [censored] actually happens. @Cib0rgman Don't worry I have still got your order here, and I will honour our transaction, your dial will be sent out today.

leitztozeiss Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Damnit. How the hell do they do this? As an aside, i have noticed that EVERYTIME (without exception) I PM someone on these boards with my p-pal ID, I get a suspicious email the same day asking for my password for "security reasons." Perhaps our PM system is compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 That really suck edge! I recently lost access to my yahoo account (5 years worth of friends, all gone). It didn't cost me anything, but did open my eyes to how unsecure the web can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Do you have the telephone number of PP in the UK (a direct line and not some button-punching arsewering machine?). I don't have it myself, but it can be found, either though board members or by a search - if one is lucky. If we could be of any help for you with this, just post. Otherwise, it looks like an open-and-shut case of account hacking. I would like to think that pp will re-credit your account once they have established that it has been criminally breached. Keep us informed, and don't hesitate to ask for help in terms of info and/or prior experience. Best of luck with it, Ryyannon Update: This is their verified business info, copied off the pp Sucks site: http://www.paypalsucks.com/faqs.shtml and re-verified by myself using the FSA register: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/ Current Status: Authorised Effective Date: 13/02/2004 Address: Hotham House 1 Heron Square Richmond upon Thames Surrey Post Code: TW9 1EJ Phone: 440870 730 7191 Fax: 44020 8605 3001 Email: No email address supplied Also, we DO have a member who is apparently a private detective posting here (I've forgotten his moniker). He appears capable of finding out what you had for breakfast this morning using means unknown to common mortals such as ourselves... He might be someone to contact if you think you've enough information to trace and track your hacker/blackmailers. Of course, confronting them in Tchechenia, Romania or the Gobi Desert might be another problem, but it could be a lead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitztozeiss Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Damnit. My brother got sucked into that. He thought he was getting a great deal on an ultimate El 127 for $230. I feel horrible, because I alerted him to the sale and convinced him to buy it because I've dealt with Edge on several purchases. Well, I'm going to sell my 217 to help cover his loss, but this just blows big time. Anyone looking for a 217? I'll be posting later this evening with pics.

TJGladeRaider Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 It would appear that I like Josh have been subject to a Pypal Hijacking. Some asshat has stolen my Business PP account.

Some complete areshole has stolen all my money, they hacked my account and are holding me ransom over it. I got a email from the hijackers today saying that they want more cash or they are gonna close the account. I think everyone should consider the possibility that this is deliberate and organized. I am wondering if anyone else - of the dealers who take pp - has received phishing e-mails intended to induce you to reveal your pp password? Have any of the dealers who take pp been the victim of complaints to pp? Having the account hacked can be part of an effort to shut it down. The dealer with no pp account is seriously disadvantaged. There are hackers who specialize in this who advertise that they will destroy competition by hacking their account for a fee. Like econoomic assasins for hire, they are paid by third parties to hack accounts and destroy the person's business. NEVER reply to anything pp sends you. If pp has a message for you, you will find it on your pp account when you log in. Open a NEW browser window and type www.pp.com and go to your account - never, ever click a link in anything anyone sends you. Be cautious; there's no end of ugly garbage out there.

slay Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 What if it's gon to another PP account? Alright, guys whoever bought something, listen up: File a complaint NOW! I have already done so and I also called pp. They told me due to my complaint, the money I sent is already frozen. I should recieve my money within 11 Days MAX. If not, I will call Mastercard (and I told the lady on the phone that I will do so if they dont get it back!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
