They were real, I called paypal,, someone actually transfered $1000 out of our bank account to paypal. I got notified before someone got the money but still had problems with paypal. I couldnt get them to stop trying to process the transfer.In turn it bounced our bank account, which I then had to close. They did say the transfer was originally started in England, but whoever did it probably got my password from another website. That in turn is why I asked if anyone here had ever had something like this happen. Its fixed now with my bank but I guess I am just curious as to how it happened and where. Thank yall for the insight
