this is not my week

[JMT]

first the flat yesterday, took it in to my mechanic to be patched, saw a nail in the other rear tire as well, both too close to the sidewall to be patched. 2 new tires, yay!

then i check my email today and find out some asshole hacked my paypal account for $1499.00. just cancelled that credit card, which i also use to pay bills automatically. yay!

everyone please feel free to spam this email address: vebicoma@hotmail.com

i use paypal lots, that really sucks...i wonder how people have the ability to hack it ??

[JMT]

i got an email reciept for the transaction, just like you normally would.

funny thing is, i did get an email from paypal about 2 weeks ago that said someone has tried to gain access to my account, and that they have locked it.... i didnt think anything of it after that.

so norah, if you ever get that be sure to change your security questions and password quickly.

dude, you didn't enter in your password in the email did you? if ya did, you just learned never ever ever ever do to that for any account ever!

also may sure your paypal has a different password than your email and ebay...

it's really secure, jmt go tricked. the bad guys went fishing and blast out these emails. some dope always falls for it, if you read the paypal site it will tell you, THEY WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD IN AN EMAIL EVER!

like i said, make sure you have different passwords on all your shit inclluding your atm pin, and have a back up email account with different passwords too.

they didnt ask me for my password in the email, they asked me to LOG INTO my account and verify my info. i should have been more explicit in my story.....
