    Yep, that was me. I think in your case the easiest and fastest way to get that money returned is contacting PayPal. I've already done so, but they won't let me file a report of fraud on behalf of someone else's account.

    By reporting this to PayPal, you're also helping out anyone else that might have been taken in by this guy but hasn't come forward. If PayPal receives your complaint, it's very likely that they'll freeze his account. It's important to do this ASAP before he has a chance to withdraw the money from his PayPal account to his bank account.

    I don't want to discuss details of our setup and give anyone ideas, but I can confirm that we do not run a windows server.

    Really hackers don't know who they are messing with when it comes to our group, it is like messing up a soap opera in the old days. Of course the loudest outcry of a messed up program was the "Fugitive" back in the 60's.

    I noticed when I changed my password, it had a choice of users. The other user was odd <.> or something like that.

    I'd be more inclined to think it might be our own government's plot. . .After all, they NEED the money.:biggrin_25513:
