It started with an e-mail. In Spanish, a language I can no longer even pretend to speak, and can only barely puzzle out when it's written. Translated, the e-mail let me know that the $1000 transfer from my checking account to PayPal was pending, and should be completed in two or three business days. Needless to say, this was cause for concern. I logged into PayPal, and sure enough, the language had been set to Spanish, and there was a pending transaction.
Phone calls to PayPal and my bank. Changed passwords. Talks with "resolution specialists." Things got sorted out, the transaction was reversed, and the money is back in my account. All's well, I figure, but it was stressful. I hope the attempted thief dies alone, afraid, and in great pain.
Still dealing with the cold. It's hanging on, and made a little worse by allergies - already some blooming trees and flowers 'round here. Congestion, mostly, and occasional sneezing fits. Not bad enough to have to cancel gaming tonight.
