Someone managed to get into my PayPal account tonight and run through $180 worth of transactions before I happened to see it. I only found it because I happened to check my email tonight and had four notices in my inbox. I can't even prnounce two of the names it went too, much less poitn out I haven't even logged on in almost 10 months.
I hate cyber crime, its the most cowardly form of crime and hard to fight. If you're going to steal from me, at least come through my front door so I can beat your ass first.

I'm sorry to hear that Rider. I wouldn't put much worth into paypal fraud department. Was this a credit card transaction? If it was you should communicate it to your financial instituion, depending on the terms and conditions you have with them this amount may be recoverable.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame

Wow, that was some epic spelling on my part.
I managed to get a stop on all four payments via paypal and a freeze through my bank. They apparently have authorities involved where ever it was initiated from. My money is safe....onto greater problems, lol.
