I was surprised to say the least when I accessed my email account and found that I had sent 149USD to a company in the USA that I had never heard of. The email came from PayPal advising me of the transaction at 1.07AM Sunday Morning.
I accessed my Paypal account and the transaction had been debited to my account so I immediately sent in a disputed transaction notification 2.15AM.
This was confirmed and a request to change my password and security questions was forwarded and by 2.21AM confirmation that the details had been changed was received.
At 5.03AM I was advised that the transaction had been decided in my favour.
The actual times were from overseas I wasn't dealing with it on Sunday night it was on Sunday evening when the bombshell struck but am posting this to praise PayPal for their prompt action. I had the day before used PayPal for a small transaction and at that time had authorized my browser Chrome to remember my password and this could have compromised my account. John

Hi Juergen,
Never played any game on the internet, was amazed to look up the site and found it to be involved with games.
I use Gmail for my email account and it is linked to Chrome.

The Reason I Know about Trion is Up till about 5mth's ago I was logging at least 2-4hr's a day in the game..
I quit the game and decided to build My bus..
It's a good thing that they refunded the money..
Have a Look at Dashlane for Password security I think they have a Lite version that is Free to use..

Good luck John and hope everything falls into place, which it usually does for you anyway.
