The money was all refunded, but it was a massive inconvenience as I had to cancel my bank and credit card, as well as change every one of my passwords. I had a virus called something like "info miner" on my laptop, despite up to date virus protection software, regular scans etc which might be worth keeping an eye out for. I'd used Paypal to order some cards on the Saturday, and my account was used on the Monday on a completely different site. (I am not a regular shopper on the marine aquatics sites!) <br><br>I now add and delete my cards manually to Paypal every time I use it, which is a total pain, but makes me feel better.Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11858850210791504996noreply@blogger.com
