I got a call from Paypal today. Seems there was some suspicious activity on my account. At first I thought the phone call was suspicious. Turns out the call was legitimate, and there were two charges made to my Paypal account that I had not made! Paypal is going to take care of the charges, and I have put a stronger password in place. I know better and should have had a strong password in place all along.

If you have a weak password on any of your on-line payment systems, it's time to think about making it more secure. With the economy what it is, there are a lot more desperate people preying on those of us that are vulnerable.

Be safe out there,
