A few days ago I got an email FROM paypal saying they have restricted my account b/c of "suspicious activity". I was NOT asked in this email to verify or send anything, but was instructed to go to the paypal website and review my account, etc.

Well, yesterday I checked my CC account, and there was this weird $2.00 charge to a charity. I didn't have time to call yesterday, but planned to call this morning. I logged on the CC acct again b/4 calling, and there was ANOTHER $2.00 charge to this same charity. Long story short, the CC people 3-way called the charity, who then confirmed neither myself nor my hubby were in their database and it was not a valid charge. They went on to say that, often times, thieves will make a small "donation" to a charity to see if the charge will go through and the card is working, and then will go to town purchasing big ticket items. I've been victimized...but not for long. They didn't have time to buy anything big b/c I shut that mofo DOWN. And I closed out my bank acct. to keep them from stealing from me there. Arsehole slimeball scum-of-the-earth thieves. Makes me sick.
