god i hate it when people mess with your stuff, you know?
you've all heard about phishing, i'm sure - where crooks disguised as legitimate companies email you saying your account is in danger of going inactive if you don't follow the link in the email and update your account information.
apparently it works in other fucked up ways, too, as i just found out. i don't even know why i just went to my bank website, but i did. and someone had just put a charge from paypal through for $1,870.00.
$1,870.00?!?!?I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT $1,870.00 LOOKS LIKE!!!
so i freaked out and went to my paypal account. and there was no record of that transaction ANYWHERE. someone had made themselves look like paypal and then took money that i don't even have! what a bastard!!
i just got off the phone with my bank, and they're rectifying the problem. which is great. but why do people have to mess with your stuff!?!? GARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!

man i was just about the put that talking part of "get in the ring" in response to that, but then i cut and pasted it and damn that's a lotta damn hell ass swearing! i'm offended just thinking about it!
Uh oh, this makes me fear for MY paypal account! How can this happen?!
no no no! you misunderstand!
it wasn't a paypal thing at all - it was someone POSING as paypal, going into the bank website and taking people's money. so it looked like paypal, but it wasn't.
