I took a little nap today, from like 6-8 and when I was woken up by the phone but I didnt answer it cause it was my cousin. Anyway the phone is on my desk, so I sat down, lit a smoke and opened up my email. All of a sudden I see an email from paypal, it said that someone tried to access my account from france and that I had to verify my account in order to prevent it from being shut down. Now I am not making excuses but I was still half asleep, I only slept maybe 10 hours in the last 4 days and I know what a pain in the ass it is to verify accounts on paypal allover again.

So i click the link and they ask me for my name, address, cc info, banking info, everything basically including my social. Now the sane person stops to think, why do they need this info, and the 100 times you saw the warning "so and so company will never ask for your account info" or at the very least you check the URL....

I did not do any of those till I was done entering my banking info, which was the last step and I was 2 steps away from hitting submit....

I am officially the dumbest person, ever.

Maybe they installed a keylogger when you went to their site. Better keep an eye on your account activity.

well thats what worries me now, im gonna have to change banks now, plus i had to enter my paypal log in, info. I changed my password though.

I guess my spoofing program worked - nice!!

he's full of shit. he's just trying to come up with an excuse why he's not going to pay off the winner of the fantasy baseball contest. when it's time to pay up, he'll bring up this thread and say those bastards emptied his paypal account.

cancel account, open new account, reformat hard drive.

I was waiting, I figured it'd be laz who'd post this though.

by the way I got another one of these emails today, I also realized, they sent it to the wrong email address, not the one I use for paypal. I notified paypal today about it.

He meant to reformat their hard drive. I can't believe you didn't think of that.

when I opened my bank account, they used a type writer to fill out the application.

they dont even have word processors, let alone hard drives.

Did you get the type writer ribbon?

what happened to you?

Are you talkin' to me?
