hi my fellow gamers,
any of you ? or most of link your paypal to ur d3 ?

for my case i've only created my paypal account solely for d3, and solely for my d3 sales.
only to receive payments, and never to make any payments. im strict not to spend any money on games.

anyway. i received 3 transaction emails yesterday that my i've successfully made payment to a seller named 'sirichai supradit'. my balance went 0.

and this bugger created monthly recurrent payment of USD100+ to his account and to be charged to my paypal account. and it's directly charged into my credit card.
i went crazy and settled everything quick enough, had my bank cards replaced, called the bank to block the payment.. etc etc.

now the thing is, i have never ever used paypal for anything else except d3. no other party should be involved or know/get involed in my paypal.

my biggest guess all this happen because of blizzard, how and why. i dont konw.


just a heads up, just do frequent checks on ur accounts.





* oh ya i sent dispute to paypal, and they're processing on my refund already.. after some investigation

i use paypal only to receive my blizzard sales income. never to spend.
never bid or bought anything on RMAH.

lol i aint paying shit..
i already sent dispute and got my refund back.

well i started this topic as a warning for fellow players.
if you can read properly, i give my scenario and put my best guess to why and how it could've happened.

i'm not a newbie computer user either. i have been been in IT field even before the year 2006. my personal PC has never been compromised by virus, trojan, malware etc. both me and my husband are very experienced in IT field.

as much as i would say i really know what im doing, sometimes this kind of things happen. i can assure you that this fraud does not come from my pc, nor my password.
in the world of online fraud, anything could happen, not even paypal is safe. so dont be so ignorant.

actually you got it wrong.

i mentioned that i only created a paypal account for diablo. solely for diablo3 gaming purposes, because i had to route my earnings somewhere.

my paypal was NEVER used to purchase anything, anywhere. it's only used to RECEIVE my earnings from diablo3 transactions, HENCE my suspicion that i only narrow it down to either paypal or blizzard to be the rootcause of this fraud.

for this fraud, the hacker had emptied my balance to buy something from a jersey seller and created a recurrent payment, because all these details are being sent to my email.
nothing was purchased out of blizzard store.

keylogger is impossible, i've only played d3 on my personal pc.
on whether i used any application or hack, any experienced d3 player in this forum will know the kind of player i am.

hi im taking a short break because im currently expecting

im not trying to find the rootcause, since i've already got my refund back from paypal.
my best guess is that the problem lies within paypal (hacked) and somehow i was one of the unlucky one, OR via blizzard (since my account details were stored there, paypal and credit card details)

to make things clear, again,
my d3 account wasn't compromised, nothing was taken out, my balance in my RMAH was still there.
nothing happened to my d3. it's my paypal account that was compromised.

and to avoid confusion, i explained that the money stored in my paypal account comes solely from my d3 RMAH earnings. this account has never accessed, bought anything from any website..etc.
which in the end makes me think the problem comes from blizzard or paypal only.

the recurring payment can be set via paypal to another 3rd party. simple as that. nothing to do with d3 account.

lol, why is it so hard to understand.
one fine day i received 2emails from paypal, 1 is a notification of purchase from something thailand merchant, and the other one to inform me i have successfully created a recurrent payment to the same merchant's account. simple as that.

lol if you could just spend some time to read what i wrote in my initial and subsequent posts.

why do you need to know the steps to set a recurring payment for diablo3 on the auction house? my case is not related to any recurring payment in/out to diablo3 auction house at all.
did you know u can set recurring payments in paypal to anyone?


say you updated a personal bank info into one (ONLY one) website. the next thing you know that particular information was used for a frauds case, you've been charged. so tell me WHERE would you suspect the breach comes from?
