    Ok I am warning you guys, if you get an email from Linden Research Inc. or see anything about them run the other way! They somehow managed to charge 180.00 to my debit card on paypal without me authorizing it or buying anything.. Oh hell no its on now!

    Linden....I've heard of them. Don't they run that online thing that was on the news a few months back?

    EDIT: After googling I was right. They run "Second Life". Did you ever download it? And register?

    Nope, I have never heard of them until I checked my balance of my debit card.

    Sounds like someones been using your debit card. I suggest ringing the company and getting it canceled.

    Or better still, get your mother to do it for you :p

    Thats what I do.

    I can take care of myself, I find myself more "assertive" than my mother is.. In other words I'll cuss a bitch out if it comes to it.

    Haha! Good work. Me? I usually go for the passive agressive. Doesn't work to well over the phone. My mum on the other hand....

    Wouldn't like to cross her on a dark street at night

    I have a very short temper and snap easily and it usually works out for me.

    Wow that sucks,

    I hope you can get the charge taken off.

    If they are a legit company then I also think mabey someone else got a hold of your numbers.

    Either way it should be handled ASAP. Most banks have a policy on theft or charges which you did not make

    It was done via Paypal which shocks me b/c Paypal is a secured site. Oh well I have emailed Paypal and they have filed a claim and are investigating it and said if I am found to be a victim of fraud all charges will be refunded.
