I just made a purchase on eBay and paid with PayPal. Sure enough, it returned me to eBay to confirm the purchase. When I went back to PayPal to check, I was not logged out. Will be very careful about this in the future!!!

I had wondered. I bought a couple of rulers from a reputable on line quilt site and used my paypal. Got a call from the fraud dept. of my bank. Since it was an "unknown" caller I refused to talk to her about my account. Immedialtly called my bank and visited with the girls. They found about $1500 worth of purchases pending on my debit. This is one time I am glad I didn't have any money to speak of in there, all purchases were refused. Thanks for the heads up, that is something my kids tell me I should know but I never think to log out of each site I visit. Live and learn, it's a different world we live in.

I've been defrauded twice in the past 3 months after making purchases from Fabric Depot. No more purchases from FD for me. It was on my credit card. I never
use Paypal.

Just read on Fabric Depot site that they are not taking credit card payments at this time as their system has been compromised. It does happen. I had my credit card used after a Hancock fabric in store purchase. Not their fault it happened at the processing place. Keep an eye on all accounts for fraudulent activity.

Yesterday I received a fraud alert from my Amazon Visa account. Someone had made 2 online purchases totaling over $1000. I only use this card for online purchases occasionally. I had used it to purchase a craftsy class on the 13th & the fraud occurred on the 14. I did follow an email link to purchase the class, so I checked my account & the purchase did go through with craftsy. This card has not be registered with Paypal, and I have not used it for a month until this incident. This is very unnerving. Doesn't the thief have to have the full cc #, expiration date, & code on the back, plus my personal information. I have been making online purchases for years & never had this before.

My paypal account was hacked also, two months ago I get 10 emails from paypal that said I had made a purchase of $6.00. I had gotten emails in the past from what looked like Paypal informing me a purchase had been made and it hadn't been so I almost ignored the email about these 10 charges. I got to thinking 10 $6.00 charges was odd so I checked my Paypal account (which I hadn't used in over 2 years) and there was the 10 $6.00 charges. Called my bank and sure enough there were 10 $6.00 charges processed. Call the fraud department at PayPal and the monies replaced.

Wow. Thanks. I do notice that every time I hit Paypal, their site opens and I have to put in my password. But I have to pass this on to son who has enough problems without having something like this happen.
