PayPal scam $1 million fraud scheme

DALLAS, Texas (Howard Ain) -- Hundreds of items are stolen in a million fraud scheme.Thieves have hijacked PayPal accounts along with credit card numbers. As a result they got away with millions of dollars worth of high end items. Piles of hunting gear, closets full of designer handbags, iPhones, laptops and television sets. This is just a sampling of the items postal inspectors discovered after cracking an account takeover scam. eBay had discovered during a 3-month period there were more than 350 fraudulent transactions resulting in a loss of over million. There were multiple levels of victims in this scheme. The first layer of victims were the ones that had their legitimate PayPal accounts hijacked and suspects would go in and add a secondary address. The second layer of victims simply had their credit card numbers stolen. Suspects would use the hijacked accounts and the stolen account numbers to order numerous high end goods and luxury items which they would have sent through the mail. By adding the secondary address, the suspects were able to make transactions without anyone noticing. All along the primary PayPal account holder had no idea a secondary address had been added to the account. In this digital age, this type of fraud is on the rise. Postal inspectors say always protect yourself. Be aware of who you store your information with, in this case suspects weren't after your social security number or date of birth, suspects were after your user profile name and shipping address. Three Vietnamese nationals were arrested in this case. They received sentences ranging from 4 years probation to 7 years in federal prison. After serving their sentences they could be extradited back to Vietnam.Follow us on Twitter @Local12 and LIKE us on Facebook for updates!
