I had a dream on Friday night that I was trapped at an amusement park fun by giant crab people and then I started turning into a crab person also, but the transformation only got as far as giving me these massive pinchers instead of arms. Then the rest of the dream was just me going about my normal business as a man with crab arms. I was at a restaurant and a guy was eating crab at the next table and I went off at him and said "do you mind, that could be my cousin for all you know". Was pretty weird.

Identity Theft

Bastards!!! Looks like someone got my CC details etc from hacking into Paypal.

CC details ... even the CCV
Full name and addy.

Lucky I got on it after one dodgy transaction.

Anyone else had issues with Paypal security?

Just all the standard stuff.... anti virus etc etc... which none of it helps if Paypal itself gets hacked. (It will be difficult to prove that assertion!) I have checked every Visa transaction over last 12 months and narrowed it down to Paypal being the only place that had all of that info.

I've been using it regulary for years and no issues... until March this year.

these people who have a question so email the entire department. wtf? if I have an IT query I don't just send it to IT (including CFO and everyone). I bloody well spend 30 seconds determining who is teh best to send it to and go from there.

lazy imo.

Identity theft is when someone takes over your identity, not just stealing your details.

(ie: they'll start opening new accounts in your name etc)

The good thing with Visa and Master cards is that all fraud is refunded.

Paypal have a responsibility to encrypt or hide this information. Is ytou CC # and CVC displayed on your page when you log in?

gripe - melbourne city council, more specifically the permits section. Sorry Dan i know you work there, but i am getting fuckin fed up with how many messages i have left and no call backs or understanding that we have to send the documents to get them signed in Dubai and then back here, plus all the other fuckin complications with it. Usually i am pretty patient with this sort of thing, but they have pushed me over the edge.

I sit at work with a couple of bogan girls who talk about their dogs all day. Aside from being mind-numbingly boring, they're really unfriendly and dont like my jokes.

They can get fucked.

I think you're on to something.

I'll let you know how that goes.

I keep reminding myself that, a bit like some of the girls were at school - they're only mean to me cos they fancy me.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:28 pm

^^ I used to get beaten by all the girls at primary school for that reason alone.

They ALL loved me, I wasn't sure if it was my Joey Jeramia Hat or my knee length brown leather jacket that I stole of mum, but either way, I was sure that was the reason all the girls took pleasure in inflicting pain upon me.
