MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER WAS LEAKED BY PAYPAL!!!! I opened a paypal account to pay for an item. I used my AMEX and was told that there was a 4 day wait to be verified and payment to be made. I called paypal and was told to use my VISA for immediate payment. I put in my visa number, too. That was a big mistake! within 12 hours I got an email from a phishing site the looked exactly like PAYPAL service at paypal dot com . The scarey thing is that THEY HAD MY VISA CARD NUMBER IN THEIR MESSAGE! HOW DID THEY GET IT?! PAYPAL LEAKED IT! This was the first use of this card anywhwere. After logging in to the site, the questions they asked were out of line, like my SSN, so instead of filling out any info I called PAYPAL. te swore the message was not from them. Correct. BUT HOW DID THE PHISHING SITE GET MY VISA CC NUMBER? Paypal says it wasn't them (of course) but the number was not used on any site but theirs. Shortly after my conversations with the robot like "customer service" people at paypal, I got an email from admin at phishcop dot net saying that I logged onto a phishing site. HOW DID THEY KNOW! I had to immediately cancel my visa and my paypal account. I called the paypal customer DIS-service people and told them I want a call from someone who knows something......... Its been 10 dats with no answers. Are you surprised... I'm not! PAYPAL MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE.
