Re: hi i have question

Hi:

First you should file a report with your local police department.

Then I would cancel all of your accounts and reestablish new ones.

As to the pay pal, I would lodge a complaint which they have procedures for, and hopefully you will recoup any lost funds. I would also switch banks, especially, if you have legitimate proof of internet fraud and they will not waive the overdraft charge.

Good Luck
