Loading ...I logged into paypal, and saw the following transaction on my report:
DIGITAL AGE 888-529-98 CYPRUS
Doing a simple search(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22+DIGITAL+AGE+888-529-98+CYPRUS%22&btnG=Google+Search)showed that this wasn’t the only transaction they’d tried to make fraudulently. Thankfully, my card @ paypal never (ever) has monies on it, unless I’m specifically expecting the charge. That’s just a default card to take funds OUT of it, without waiting the 3 days for the bank transfer.
I’m curious as to HOW they got the info (I NEVER use that card online), but the lesson learned was quite simple. Check everything DAILY. Not that I DON’T mind you, but it is still a very very valid lesson. If you don’t know where the charge came from, report it to your cardholder.
Anyways, a tip for security. There’s more out there, but this one came up when doing this. Good luck, and enjoy!!!
