Scammed over PayPal

I think that I’ve been scammed over PayPal! I’ve had about 100 bucks on my Pay Pal account because I wanted to buy something from eBay. After the purchase, whose full cost was about 60 bucks, was over, instead of 400 bucks there was nothing on my account! I’m sure that I’m a victim of phishing or something similar. How to protect myself?

Eh, those modern hackers and phishers are quite dangerous and know how to worm their way into our accounts and passwords. I know that many people have the similar problem. I can only suggest you one thing: whenever you buy something on the internet have only the exact amount of money on your account. Don’t leave any extra money so that somebody can take it. I’ve heard that Pay Pal ahs recently introduced yet another way to protect its users. It’s one more password as I’ve understood and you should have used that. Are you sure that nobody else knows the number of your account and other personal data? Those are sensitive issues and you should really take care when buying something on the Internet.
