Hi there,

What details do i give to the person who is paying? Just the paypal email address....is this safe?

Yeah, just give the paypal email address.

One scam to be wary of is someone might make up a confirmation email and send it so it looks like you got paid.
Always check on the paypal website itself to make sure it has appeared there. Sometimes it might take a few minutes for it to appear but its usually instantly.

I didn't even had to log in from en email .

This what happened this in very early hours this morning

Rang paypal this morning at 8 am , whoever hacked in changed my security questions (that one took me by suprise to be honest )

Obviously changed all passwords ,cleaned cache in all browsers /scanned computer/phone with AVG but nothing was detected .

The rep from paypal was very helpful, said that will take them about a week to fully investigate what happened.

At the moment my PayPal account access is limited ,that will be lifted once they know that there is no more issues .

Happy Friday everyone :pac:
