PAYPAL and Debit Card Fraud
#51
It's funny that you should mention this because I had discovered that very issue a few months back. Paypal had never done this before, but I too went back into my Paypal account hours after I had used it and I was still logged in. Yes, logging out does correct the problem, but as far as Paypal timing out itself, it doesn't seem to be happening. There is definitely a security issue there

Great information to those that have pay-pal. My son-in-law had over two thousand dollars removed from his account. He was never able to recover it...I bet that is what happened to him. Thanks for sharing...

I have a free acct at my bank in which I keep a very small amount....and have a debit card for that account. It's the one I use for PP and sometimes other sites. Recently I had only about 29$ in it and after an online purchase (I think it was one from Annie's Attic--an ebook-not thru PP), someone got the number and charged several small things--in CA, one at a food bank and calls to Mexico. Bank caught it almost right away (I usually ck my accounts online daily or at least every 2-3 days) and sent me an email about it. The charges were credited back quickly. The bank said they'd prob just write it off since it was less than $50 but I wish they'd followed up on it and caught the person! The acct is set so that if debits are put through for more than the balance, they're refused.
