Fallen victim of a bizzarre payal goldfarming fraud

[twinsetandpearls]

Almost £1000 of money has beenn spent from my bank account using paypal, the bank have basically told me that they are not responsible and paypal have told me they need to investigate. While this drags on I am £1000 down just before Christmas.

I have called the police who are coming around this afternoon.

I have done some of my own research and the money seems to have been spent on gold from a game called world of warcraft. This gold is then sold on for real currency - called gold farming apparantly. This has left me completely baffled and broke - does anyone know anything about it.

I have not replied to any emails or entered my details in anywhere about my paypal account I am not sure how they have hacked into my account.

I spent 2 hours at the police station today and they are taking the matter very seriously, it is being handed over the the London Met as that is where my bank account is based.

Ohhh, good news.

Fingers crossed for you that the money is returned quickly.

It sounds as though they are seeing it as part of a bigger picture, hope you get the money without too much time lost..

All the remaining money is back in my paypal account.

Ohh excellent, I was just thinking about you this morning. Glad it's all sorted.

opppps sorry, forgot to change my name back.

oh fantastic! really pleased for you. can't believe this gold game thing. weird.
