Re: $9.95 scam.. check your bank statements.

I noticed that you use PayPal to receive payment for a product you sell. That may be the source of your security leak, their reputation for keeping customer information secure is at best questionable.

I've heard people say that, but I've yet to see real evidence of it.

We've been using Paypal as a payment method for years now, and never once had anything untoward happen.

yea i highly doubt paypal could be it but its possible for leaks to happen. and no i never fell for those fake email sayin they lost my account info and i need to sign in.. this just happened out of the blue. there will always be ways to get peoples credit card numbers but do u really think you can sell templates to people.. that site itself is questionable. they r just hoping people dont see the small charge.

On the contrary, we use Paypal at our company specifically
because of their extremely extensive security which goes
way above and beyond what you find at most actual real
banks and credit card companies and we have first hand
experience with Paypal for many years now.

In almost every single case of some security problem
involving Paypal, further investigation reveals that the
problem has nothing to do with Paypal whatsoever.

Most of the cases are people being tricked by hackers
pretending to be Paypal or people using very weak and
easily guessable passwords. I have never seen a
security problem at Paypal that actually originated
within Paypal despite the misleading media coverage
to the contrary who seems to have a nasty habit of
reporting first and collecting facts later.

It goes without saying that a password on any site
involving banking or finances in any form or fashion
should have an extremely difficult password and you
should not use the same password on more than one site.

The second piece of advice is that you should NEVER ever
respond to any kind of email message asking you for
personal or account information. If you get such a
message, you should first contact your account provider
and verify that they did indeed send you such a message.
You'll find in nearly every case that such a message is fake!
