It is not PayPal that is at fault, it is the user that falls for Phisher scams.
There are warning all over the place about them, but some still click on
unverified links and give up personal information like they think everyone is
honest.
I have used PayPal for years, no problems at all, and love their service.
I do receive many Phishing emails asking me to verify one thing or another, and
I never click on them, I just know better.
Just remember, for the future, no bank or PayPal ever ask for verification or
personal information via email, and especially email that does not come from
their own mail servers. If ever in doubt, just contact them by telephone or via
the legitimate web site.

Subject: Ripped Off!!!
Like an idiot I verified my Paypal account to make an ebay purchase, and
like I feared some pus-filled assclown logs in and jacks $1000 from my
checking account. Luckily my bank is honoring my request to refund the money
to my account.
I'm sure most of you are smart enough not to even use Paypal, but just in
case.
My advice: Dont ever use paypal. As soon as this all clears up, I am closing
my account.
The only evidence I have of this guy is a hotmail email address, so I dont
know how far in tracking this weasel I am going to get.
