Yet another false charge turned up on Paypal so you should probably go to Paypal and update your password since they are now compromised. I managed to get it immediately reversed but it was difficult and I waited on hold for a very long time.

If you're using the Microsoft password memory it can suggest very strong passwords that are a good idea. These would be impossible to remember without a memory program or a notebook filled with meaningless scribbles like $#@%9rRd44&p09.

If they broke into my account with a "strong" password they can break into yours. If Paypal didn't offer safe purchases MOST of the time I would simply cancel my account with them. I still have a phony $41.95 payment with them but since I filed a complaint with my bank they could not resolve that until they go through legal procedures from the bank on how they can possibly use a non-preferred card to buy something for someone else.

Well, Paypal admitted their wrong doing allowing someone to make purchases from my account. This occurred directly after my bank declared the last contested charge to be counterfeit. So all of my money is returned and the law is looking into it since it is a federal felony.
