I'm not getting into a blame thing here all I can say is what happened to me, I have had PayPal myself for years without any issues... However as far as i'm concerned it can only be one of the 2 where my card was cloned -used or what ever you call it... FastTech or PayPal Ewol as far as I know my new laptop is up to date, running windows 8 and Kaspersky pure 3.0

@kopiert wrote ( I am considering getting a pre paid card just for internet purchases) How does that work? I didn't know such a system was available... Can you have a card with credit on it but not linked to your bank? I'm very interested in such a way to pay for goods... Please don't tell me it's a visa or credit card as I refuse to have one of them.

For me from October last year my bank HSBC Issued me with 4 yes 4 new cards. each time I purchased from FastTech my card was copied and used to the extent where they wipped us out on 2 occasions, all items were paid via PayPal. The bank always and very quickly replaced the funds, however the fraud squad refused to let me know who was doing this to us, and also said we had no right to know the out-come as the money was not ours it was the banks. I phoned PayPal and accused them of somehow being hacked that point blank refused to believe this and the bank also refused to accept it was there problem. So after the 4th card was issued in November I did not and still haven't registered it PayPal, it's a debit card linked direct to our bank... I point blank refuse to have a credit card. Now I find myself without a PayPal account and unable to order from China, but since the new card was issued and not registered with PayPal and not ordered from FastTech we have had no problems. I have used the new card many times on-line and not had any issues... However we are now having to check the bank account several times every day. That is very worrying, somehow FastTech were getting hold of your data through paypal - which encrypts CC data. Is that correct Yikes that is worrying. I am considering getting a pre paid card just for internet purchases Nick Yes @kopiert That is my understanding, Like I say no paypal now and no orders from China, shame because I need some Kanger heads. I have used card 5 loads of times on the internet and had no issues, but as soon as I use paypal or fasttech then that's when the problems stem from.

After 37 years of marriage. Jake dumped his wife for his Young secretary. His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Edith's multi-million dollar home and since the man's lawyers were a little better he prevailed. He gave Edith his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes crates and suitcases. On the 2nd day she had to movers come and collect her things. On the 3rd day she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly the house began to smell. They tried everything cleaning mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even replaced the expensive wool carpeting. NOTHING WORKED. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairman refused to work in the house. The Maid quit. Finally they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later even through they had cut their price in half they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house ha been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home. INCLUDING THE CURTAIN RODS
