Unauthorized $624.46 deduction and weeks of phone calls

PayPal decided to relieve me and my partner of $624.46 on the 16th of February, 2009. It has taken me nearly 4 weeks and jumping through hoops to try to prove to them that I had nothing to do with this deduction from our account. I have been made to feel like an idiot, because the women you speak to talk so fast that you cannot even understand them, and then they just talk over the top of you.

Some American man, Kevin V. (we will call him that), decided to set me up some WoW account. After checking on the internet, I learned that WoW is a game like Dungeons and Dragons, and I am 42, so that is the closest I can come to it. It is all played on the Internet. Yeah, I would be into that, NOT.

How can this happen, that your money is not safe in your savings account? I am not saying my bank does not have a lot to answer for, but they showed me the paperwork from PayPal saying it was a Direct Debit, and they had already tried to steal $702.50 two weeks before, so I got charged $80.00 by my bank for an overdrawn account. I have spent a total of 5 hours and 42 minutes ringing a 1800 number and being on hold, because that is supposed to calm you down. Well, I just got more angry. I have contacted the Age paper, and they want to do a story once it is resolved. I do not think so. I want to bring PayPal to their knees.

I work at Griffith University on the Gold Coast as a chef, so I have told all the kids not to get mixed up with this company. I have posted signs all over campus, and I will do whatever I can to stop anyone using this complete scam of a business.
