it's actually kind of poetic when you look at it in the light of virtual realities. BUT...I need my money back!!!!!

OMG! Not again??? Do you know how they got it?

The third time Silver!!!!!!!

Yes, from Paypal.

if your details are being passed around a network of scammers. OH!

Silver, what is the name of the inworld pose maker (I know I always ask you this...) I can't find it in my inventory.

:I

it phishing?

Mannequin

It was a fake email asking for account information. It looked exactly like a Paypal email. I stupidly gave them the info.

(thanks!)

had ours stolen off a receipt that didn't have the CC number blocked out. We realized it when we got a call from Murray's Steaks!

LOL

Hi Cyn!

oh gawd... I am so sorry. My bank warned everyone that there was an email scam going around.

always worried my dad will be swindled, because he can't tell spam from real emails.

I'm so stressed this year that I miss things like that all the time. I'm hoping 2010 will be better...

are the police looking into it?

Yeah! Older people and the totally stressed out are major targets!

they told me, when my cc was stolen, that the companies don't even bother investigating if the loss is under 25K.

No, Paypal and my bank are taking care of it.

it makes me so mad that the people who stole mine got away with it.

Paypal does because it's rampant. And my bank seemed to be right on it... All I know is I got my money back! The charge was from J. Crew.

they charged a brand new computer on my card!

They probably bought pink cashmere sweaters and then were on their way to Murray's for a steak!\

hahahhaha!

Ooooh...computer! I should do that!

the first ones bought steaks, Victoria's secret and something else I never buy...

LOL

remember those commercials with the different voice coming through the identity victims? It's just like that!

I just picture someone feeding his girlfriend a sirloin while she's wearing polyester lingerie!

hahahhahaa! awful.

Thos commercial were freaky!

doesn't know how the ones who bought the computer faked my signature...

the salesperson must not ahve been looking.

you can fake anyone's signature. Retailers rarely look at them.

almost in favor of having a chip implanted - but then, the thieves would cut off your arm, right?

or steal your eyeballs...

hahaha! They would find something!

Must go to a meeting...be back to plurk!

if you have a fraud alert on your credit reports?

kk, err, have fun at the meeting!

Oh my credit reports are a whole other story...

said he thought if anyone stole my bank info they would feel so bad for me they'd leave me money!

sorry...that was Hio said he thought

hahahaha! I wish thieves had any empathy - but then, they wouldn't be thieves!

my thieves were disappointed when they reached my credit limit so quickly

damn...that sucks...I feel for you....
