Hi everyone,
I'm new to this website I am looking for some clarity on my situation as paypal & my bank aren't exactly helpful.
This morning I woke up and i had about 200+ emails, all random phishing emails. I have listed a few below:
classof1956-request@sciencehill .org
announce-request@lists.openmoko .org
dhs-csed-request@lists12.state.mn .org
etc etc
I then checked my paypal and I have seen a transaction for 1$ and im not sure if this is linked ....
the transaction on paypal was a donation to:
FBI LA CA AA
FBI LACAAA | Los Angeles Citizen's Academy Alumni Association
rumanes@fbilacaaa .org
which is quite unnerving and bare in mind im from the UK.
I have since changed all passwords on my email accounts/paypal and moved all senders of the email to my junk folder.
I have opened a dispute through paypal & I contacted my bank and they said it may not be anything to worry about since the amount of 1$ hasn't left my bank account.
I have ran a scan on my computer (no malware) etc and all programs & the OS is fully up-to-date.
It was just strange how both of these events have occured on the same day.
Any help at all or insight would be greatly appreciated!
