Someone hacked my PayPal, transferred funds from my Bank (Making be overdrawn) and bought over 10,000 Microsoft Points for their XBL account.
Microsoft know who did this, PayPal have given transaction details to Microsoft and they know the GT who did it.
Subsequently both PayPal and Microsoft are taking legal action against the culprit (They won't tell me who it is) and PayPal have refunded my money and have paid my bank charges for going overdrawn.
I'm very secure online and I am more than aware of Phishing sites, RATS etc... I have no idea how they managed it but they're facing criminal charges.
I'm considering whether or not to take legal action of my own. But at least I have my money back.
I'm just glad XBL keeps all your details, addresses/names/numbers/IP's etc because it was so easy for them to trace
In my opinion, yes you should take legal action. Think about it, would they really care about you if those were some of the only savings you had? No of course not, they would rather use what is POTENTIALLY your last few cents and dump it on an XBL account.
