Default paypal users beware

If you use paypal do yourself a favour, log in and set yourself up with their sms security key...

I have just had my whole days takings robbed from my paypal account as someone gained access to my account via my password!!

I never thought this would happen to me, i dont click links, i have all the anti virus, anti malware, anti phishing software installed yet somehow some fecker managed to grab my password!

The only way i can see this can be prevented is by adding the extra security they offer from the sms key service,, so if you have a paypal account add it now!!

What a nightmare.

Thanks for the heads up I hadn't heard of this extra security before so added it now.

Good stuff Neil. And whilst you're here just want to say my order turned and everything was once again spot on. So cheers for you service.

For everyone else I highly recommend Neil's business.
