I had my own experience with Paypal. I too received the recent Paypal
phishing expedition. However, my experience with Paypal started last
December. I sold some antiques and received the buyers' payment via
Paypal. I knew when the buyer's funds hit my account because they had
sent me a separate email. I had never dealt with Paypal of selling
something via the Internet. So the next morning I checked my account
to see if the money had been credited. In fact I learned that the my
funds were gone, the account had been closed, and my American Express
card number had been used to purchase an additional $250.00 worth of
merchandise over and above the funds I shouldl have received from the
buyer. the culprit had orchestrated al of this from the Philippines.
It took me about three months to get the issue straightened out. I
did come out OK but only because I can be pretty stubborn when I feel
screwed. the worst of this situation was I found it absolutely
frustrating and difficult to deal with Paypal. I was never able to
talk to the same person twice and it took me a week of effort to get
to talk to the first live human being. My advice, stay away from
Paypal. Their internal security sucks almost as bad as their customer
service.
