I came home from my Photoshop class last night to find out that someone in New York hacked into my Paypal account and stole everything I had, PLUS $300 from my checking account, that my Paypal account is linked to.

I'm so upset I want to throw up and burst into tears.

I leave on vacation in just a few days and I've just lost $600 that could've been used on my trip.

Paypal has launched an investigation, but it could take up to 30 days to get my money back.

It just SICKENS me that there are people out there who are too fucking lazy to get an actual job, so they steal from others.

I feel so violated now, and terrified that this could happen again, to any of my online accounts (credit cards, etc.)

I truly, truly just want to curl up in a corner and cry.

That's terrible! I'm sorry that happened to you.

Do you know how the person managed to hack into your account? Is there a way they can track it back to the source?

Good luck, and I hope you get your money back. Now I want to go change the account numbers on all my accounts, just in case.

Paypal told me that this person in New York got my password. HOW I'd like to know, since I don't go around giving it out, you know? I'm just completely stumped. They know who did it, but trying to recover funds from a thief isn't going to be easy, I'd guess.

God, what a mess! [sigh]

Now I want to go change the account numbers on all my accounts, just in case.

I did! No way in hell I want this happening again.
