Just can't get a break...

Well, this is two straight conventions, that something bad has happened to me, after the convention. Nothing to do with the convention itself, it's just timing.

This past October, a couple of days after the Fall Toronto ComiCON, put on by Hobbystar, my motherboard messed up, and I spent a few days getting my computer up and running.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, I started receiving emails from PayPal, which my brother pointed out to me, because he was on the computer, and my Windows Live Messenger was still running.

So I head over to one of the other computers in the house, to check my email. Then I decide to check PayPal, because I wanted to be sure I wasn't getting screwed.

Well, I did. Seven transactions to some friggin MMORPG site, all at $50US each. WTF! I don't play any MMORPG (still waiting on Marvel and DC to release theirs).

I quickly called up Visa, to report the fraud, and had my credit card cancelled, because of it. I also filed Unauthorized Claims with PayPal, and am waiting for that to stop the process.

This situation has me ultimately pissed and worried. This isn't the first time I've been a victim of fraud. September 2006, I was a victim of debit card fraud. This actually took place the week after Fan Expo Canada 2006. Talk about timing, eh?
