<p>[QUOTE="jwitten, post: 2003942, member: 70583"]Today was a busy day... had my daughter's first Birthday party. Right before bed, I decided to check my email, and saw an email from paypal saying I changed my email address. I logged in, to find an account that had over $3,700 was down to $16! Someone had purchased 5 ebay auctions (not using my ebay account) which mainly was computers, iphones, etc. Paypal was already closed for the day, so I called ebay. ZERO help. I went ahead and changed my passwords, and filed claims on paypal's website. Hopefully that puts a hold on the money. I went to my local police station (at 1 AM!) to file a police report. I have the address the items were being shipped to in Portland, OR. I am wondering if the person is really there, or if the scam is more sophisticated? Possibly not a real address, then they someone file a claim and get the money back? I HOPE paypal gets my money back to me. I also hope this scum gets arrested. It is a Chinese name. Scholes Zhang ZhiXun. very fishy all around. Just had to vent.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
