PayPal hackers - be careful everyone.

Just got hacked through PayPal on the purchase transaction for Andy’s mono, trying now to have it stopped.

Be careful everyone, our site has been hacked.

The hackers are tricky, the email notifications I received contained the Int Waters logo headers giving them the appearance of being legitimate and the questions and answers were typical of any purchase or PP transaction I have ever made.

PayPal may or may not be able to retrieve my money but fortunately my bank is making me whole today and returning my funds.

Stupid hackers, be careful everyone, after all these years I was almost burnt.

Can happen to anyone, I’m a 42 year commercial banker and I was fooled. All I’m saying is make sure you are speaking or communicating with a trusted source and not an impersonator pretending to be a legitimate seller.

Frauds in the financial realm are increasing daily where these hackers are forever evolving their method of attacks.

I too have successfully used PayPal for almost as long as it’s existed and this week was my turn to be targeted.

Stay vigilant everyone.

Seen that the same hacker just tried to get another pair of boaters - watch out for the name Mark Howard, he’s gotten inside IW and is trying to fool more than myself.
