Default Wtf!!

:angry: I knew something was wrong after I made a deposit in my checking account this morning and the balance seemed a little off. I drive all the way into work (45min) and see my online banking showing a Instant Paypal transfer! WTF!! I checked my Paypal account and sure enough, this was made through my account from a buyer/seller I've never even heard of and it's for a sh1tty Viao laptop from Ebay!!!

Original Transaction

Date Type Status Details Amount
May 20, 2006 Payment To James garner Completed ... -$1,094.50 USD


Now I've got to leave work and drive all the way back to my bank to fill out some paperwork. They said the amount could be back in my account in 24 hours but this seriously is not cool!

i had a similar thing happen with my account, but for $350. Paypal caught it, and immediately reversed the transaction.

I wouldn't mind if 1 grand missing from my account was..."a little off".
