Yes even though Im in the computer biz and I help so many people avoid infections and spyware I was just a victim of being ripped off on the internet. Luckily I was up late chatting when I noticed a Email pop on my Yahoo that said my account login information enclosed. I go to read the email and it said 29.99 Euros were deducted from my Paypal account. Sure enough 2 seconds later I get a paypal notice that a transaction took place. Still being wary I didnt click any links in the email and I hand-typed www.paypal.com and checked my account. Sure enough the motherfockers took every last penny in my Paypal.
If it weren't for the fact the Credit card I used was expired and the bank account was closed that was attached to this paypal account I could have been wiped out. If you have a paypal account always make sure you check your transaction history, and any additions of emails you don't own. Keeping a low credit limit card there is also advisable as well as a very low balance bank account. Dont get bitten like I did!
