Perfidious Purloiners on Pay Pal !Today I went to check my bank account balance and found four transactions made to Pay Pal! Folks, I haven't used paypal in over a year! You can imagine my frustration and fear to see my dollars being (slowly) drained from my account! It's kind of weird because there were four different transactions in rapid succession (One was in Euros). Actually, it's smart. If they (the theiving degenerates) took five dollars from 10,000 people, it's a tidy haul. If I were of a criminous nature, I would applaud them. Since my husband works hard for our money, and we are watching every penny (meaning we only HAVE pennies) I admire it not at all. In fact, they caused us to be overdrawn which means they stole an additional $44.00 in "courtesy fees." The good news: I contacted payPal and made an Unauthorised Transaction Report and they will refund the money. I contacted my bank reversed the extra charges and strongly advised me to close my checking account. Such a tedious job, especially after the hour and a half I spent ont he phone. Guess what I will be doing all day tomorrow? :( The most interesting thing about all this (to me) is my response. Instead of my normal reaction: freaking out, calling the bank, crying, calling my husband, more crying (I realize these are not effecient techniques ), I just called the appropriate parties and followed the steps and took care of it. I was freaking out on the inside, but nobody would have known! That's a satisfying victory in itself! And, of course, when you are living frugally, it's especially satisfying to successfully regain the lost money. { Post a Comment } { Last Page } { Page 1 of 344 } { Next Page } |
