During the past week I have noticed when I check my emails using Thunderbird I can see for example 3 messages downloading. Strange, only one message then appears in my IN box, so I am thinking where have the other two gone.
Vanished without trace. Very odd I thought but I continued with life as normal, not worrying too much.
(Junk mail filter is set to put rubbish in the Junk mailbox and not Delete)
Yesterday the problem got worse. Checking my mail I noticed possibly 20 emails being downloaded, my IN box filled up and they all came from PayPal and Ebay.
I noticed I had bought PS3 games and even a Bank transfer of funds which contained all by Bank details and the correct name/address etc
Within a few seconds possibly less than 15 they all DISAPPEARED and the IN box was empty.
Panic stricken, I checked my PayPal and Bank account to find no unauthorised transactions. Phew that was a relief, but as a precaution I deleted all my Bank and card details from my PayPal account.
My own (Smile) Bank tells me they thought it was an email scam to get me to click on a link to disclose my personal details, but I dont think that holds water because the transactions were not on the screen long enough to deal with.
I can only assume someone is using my details to purchase items through Ebay, but for the life of me why dont they show up in my Bank Accounts.
Impossible to raise a Dispute case with PayPal as they require the transaction details etc, I cannot supply that information unless I can read and digest emails at the speed of light !
How can a third party get these emails to disappear ???
Anybody come across this before ???
