This morning, Tuesday, September 17, I logged into my Facebook. It had a notice that my cousin invited me to try a Facebook security app. I went in, and when it asked me questions like a credit card number, I realized it was a scam. Unfortunately, that was not the end of it for me.
Later that day, several transactions went through my PayPal account in the form of Facebook credits. There was one for $49.99 and one for 24.99. Another was for $9.99, and several more were each at $1.99. I checked my Facebook, and I had added my PayPal account. When I logged onto my PayPal, these payments had gone to Facebook Payments. Firstly, I do not even know how to play poker, and secondly, I did not carry out these transactions. I then got an email from pokerstars.net saying thanks for joining, etc.
There was just no rhyme or reason to this attack on my account and finances. PayPal is currently investigating the issue, and I have had to delete my Facebook account and the email associated with it. I have no idea what else this company will take from me.
