Reading the Football Gossip on the BBC website, I saw this ...
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? |

Have done. It didn't find any serious risks, just a few tracking cookies and other medium level risk stuff. All cleaned up now. |

Run a spyware check on your PCs also just in case!

I hope so. My account has now been partially disabled until I go through the procedure. I think I'll leave it for a few days. I don't like the thought of my bank account getting debited by Paypal for fraudulent transactions. |

Paypal are quite good at discovering fraud so you should (hopefully) be ok.
I note others have been through the same... http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=772 http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/102 2684.html http://oddnari.livejournal.com/124935.html http://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/showthread.php?t=190730 http://www.pokerisrigged.com/showthread.php?t=676 |

No this is genuine. Money has been taken from my account. I do however also get the banking ones. |

These are just spoof/phishing emails - I doubt any money has taken from your account, but still worth checking.
I normally forward these to PayPal for investigation, but doubt if it does any good. I've had loads of phishing emails allegedly from Lloyds/TSB this week, asking me to update my details in their new secure system - I don't have an account with them, so definately phishing. Anyone else had this? |

Apparently I made a purchase from this website using my Paypal account. $40 I'm told. Funny until I got an email informing me of this I had never even heard of Gaia Online and my wife certainly hadn't I've filed a dispute with paypla so hopefully I will get the money back but it doesn't inspire much confidence in thier security. Has anyone else had any trouble with Paypal? |
