I finally got my money back as well. Think I was credited back on the 17th or something like that which was 13 days from when the charge happened and I called within a couple hours of getting the email. I would gamble that paypal is going to do nothing along the lines finding or charging the person that did all of this. Theres almost a 100% chance it didn't happen in the USA so their not going to bother trying to contact police in another country over a couple thousand bucks. Now if were a very small % (lets say 1%) of the people that noticed then they might do something. What I would LOVE for a paypal rep to answer is why they continued to allow the person to pull this stuff. I notified them on July 4th that it was a scam going on and that the account wasn't microsoft but they still left the account open so they could continue to try and get money off of other people. So to everyone that has had this happen to them after July 4th make sure to ask your paypal rep why no action was taken on the account to restrict this scam from gaining steam. Oh and also I never got any payments made to me from another person as I had a paypal balance to cover the costs. If indeed our accts were "hacked" why would they have only take a % of what was in my balance and not the entire thing. Seems like paypal had a crack and is trying to say it was our fault not theirs.
