Thursday morning, 5:00 a.m. 2/8, I checked my online banking statement as I fastidiously do daily. To my surprise, there was a Pay Pal debit of $1435.00. I logged into my Pal Pay account and noticed that someone by the name (fictitious?) of Benjamin Seides, was paid this amount, for what - I don't know. My p***word and i.d. must have been stolen. I attempted to use the Dispute Resolution process, but had little info. to go by, after all how do you prove a negative? A transaction that I didn't do, in fact I was sleeping at the time.
The following message came back this morning from the Dispute Resolution center..
