Default Forum Boosters

I recently signed up for Forum Boosters only to find my Paypal account getting hijacked and a bunch of transactions currently pending to leave my account.

Has anyone heard of a site called Forum Boosters? Basically they go to your forum and post a bunch of posts and start many threads for a low price to help your forum get started. If anyones used this I'd like to know what their experience was with them. I am intending on sending Forum Boosters an e-mail about this problem I have encountered.

I very rarely use Paypal and this was the first transaction I've done in months and I know my computer is super secure, I have Peer Guardian, Zone Alarm, Kaspersky Anti-virus, and spybot search and destroy and I am always monitoring my computer for anything out of place. So all this leads me to believe that their website Hijacked my information.

Since banks are closed here in America on Sundays I'll have to contact my bank tomorrow to make sure they don't go through. Anyone with more experience with Paypal; if transfers are pending or uncleared can I go ahead and shut them down from Paypal without having to go to my bank first?

Just a quick remedy, cant you remove your credit card details from paypal? or have they already been authorised?

I had that authorized a long time ago. So Paypal is linked to one of my bank accounts. I just called paypal to put a hold on all those funds and tomorrow I have to go to the bank to fill out an R-10. It charged me for some company named "Relakks" which I've never ever dealt with. But if I was a victim of phishing then any company name could be charged to paypal.
