<p>I don’t know if you guys have experienced this issue or not, but I have faced this several times by now. Unauthorized transactions magically appeared on my PayPal—oddly, I used many cards, but only PayPal one that has this issue. First time it was about half a year ago, 2 strange transactions buying some service from some unknown websites—about $150 in total—were authorized under my card. I contacted PayPal in sudden, mailed an affidavit form and waited about 2 weeks to get $ back. It was not that bad since we all know that we would get $$ back anyway. However, if we haven’t checked, that’s what we are going to lose.</p>
<p>Again, few days ago I got an unauthorized transaction from Square Enix, playonline.com, as shown below.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/image1.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="SQUARE ENIX PLAY ONLINE unauthorized charge" border="0" alt="SQUARE ENIX PLAY ONLINE unauthorized charge" src="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/image-thumb.png" width="500" height="225" /></a>&#160; </p>
<p>I never heard of this merchant before, so I dag for more info a bit. As a result, it was game online website. Some of kids in there probably needed $$ so badly since I’m not the only one who had the issue <a href="http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/396/RipOff0396486.htm" target="_blank">#1</a> <a href="http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/square-enixplay-onlin-los-angeles-ca-c171722.html" target="_blank">#2</a> (same day &amp; amount as mine too!), and a lot more. Thus they have to find the illegal way to satisfy their need. I honestly have no clue how my info was leak yet, but at least, this should be a good warn for everyone—check your transaction thoroughly before you will be the next victim.</p>
