Icing on the cake for me yesterday....I discovered someone hacked into my itunes account and repeatedly made fraudulent purchases in the amount of $40.55. There were 17 pruchases made, each coming 1-2 minutes from the last until my Paypal account was cleaned out. The grand total was $689.35 !!

I fo course called Paypal immeadiately and they have "opened an investigation". They claim to have put a claim in, however my paypal account balance is not only zero, but my bank account cleared the remaining $12.xx. According to Paypal, the transactions are "under investigation" Hopefully, there will be some recourse for me. Paypal agrees it all looks fraudulent. All they did was cancel my automatic Paypal payments to itunes, and send me a nice email saying they are looking in to the claims. They sent me 17 emails since all were individual fraudulent claims.

Here is what the transactions show:

Just a warning to everyone that has itunes....it would be a good idea if you change your password. Not sure how this came about, but hopefully...it won't happen to anyone else here. Cross your fingers for me that Paypal will put my money back into my account. As for itunes, I was only able to use the email them option. I sent them an email explaining everything, and they say they will get back to me in 48 hours. I could not find anything other then an endless loop on the website for such things. Three calls to Apple ended in me getting a voice message telling me I was being connected to technical support, and each time i went into some sort of no-man's limbo land and hung up after 6-10 minutes of complete silence.
