7:23PM PDT, which is 10:23PM ET (where I'm at).
Called Paypal again, because i cannot get into contact with the person i supposedly sent this money to to see where the tickets were supposedly shipped.
It looks to me like it was all a scheme just to get some $$$, since the people on ebay whose auctions I supposedly bid on were never paid.
I asked if there was any way I could possibly get in touch with this person I supposedly sent money to and got the same "Get in touch with your local law enforcement, and get a subpoena.
Great.
So now i'm on the phone with Time Warners security dept., to find out if i can get a log of incoming connections to my house on or about the time all this was done. It seems to be my only hope of proving it wasn't me.
I also discovered in my router that stuff was changed in there as well. Stuff I wouldn't do (firewall off, etc). Stuff noone in my house knws how to do either.I reset it, put all my personal settings back, made up a new password AND updated the firmware.
I checked my event viewer, and don't see anything out of the ordinary. The log goes back to 6/19 too (when i started using this machine). Just normal startup and shutdown alerts about services. Saw some strange ones, but verified them by searching online.
I ran 2 virus scans, one from trend micro online and another from a fresh version of norton i installed when I got home. Found nothing. Also ran a spyware scan and only found some cookies (I use ewido).
I also went to symantecs website and ran their hack threat thing and all came back good.
EDIT: also downloaded some root kit detectors and found nothing!
Does anyone know if only law enforcement can get a subpoena? Or can a lawyer do it. I have a few that owe me some favors. ..
Either that or the fate of my $700 lies in AMEX's hands. People have been telling me all day not to worry too much as AMEX "takes good care of their customers." But I'm worried they'll call paypal and get the same info i did, which is me or someone in my house did this.
Gah! I can feel the hairs falling out of my head!
