Prompt action from PayPal


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

 

1.07AM You sent a payment of $149.99 USD to Trion Worlds, Inc

2.15AM Recently, you told us that you didn't recognise a payment sent from your PayPal  account. We are currently investigating the following transaction:

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.

John

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..
