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.

Oh, I hate PayPal--the same thing happened to me and getting it resolved was ridiculous. I'm so glad that they're taking you seriously and getting it resolved for you! And I'm so so sorry that this happened, it's just disgusting! I hope it's all resolved quickly. Try to enjoy your vacation--why does it never fail that something like this happens just before you have no time to deal with it??

Oh, god, you, too?? So much for Paypal's "secure way to do business" eh? Please tell me you eventually got your money back!

They told me they know who did it, but getting money back from a thief can't be easy, you know? [sigh]

Exactly! I'm consumed with this mess instead of concentrating on packing, etc. God, what a mess!
