My PayPal account was hacked…

If you’re planning on donating… hold your fire.

I just found out some rather startling news. My Paypal account was hacked on October 29.

Here’s the evidence:

Awaiting other party’s response

Trust me, this stuff ain’t even remotely funny. It’s more than just a PITA for me. Its a crime. I will be contacting my bank tomorrow and letting them know what happened.

It was, in fact my own damned fault. I thought I would be slick and sign up for some pay per click services, where you get paid to surf websites. I guess one of them was a scam operation.

Needless to say, I’m not a happy camper right now. 😡

Update: Contacted Paypal and according to them, it’s already been flagged at fraudulent transaction and I’ll get my money back in a few days. I’m still contacting my bank tomorrow. I have to get the overcharge fees taken off. What kind of person steals from an unemployed man? It just does not make sense man…

Update #2: (Monday November 3, 2008) Went to the bank today and opened an investigation. Once it is completed it, which can take up to 30 days, I will get the money, which wasn’t not mine to begin with, returned to the bank and get my measely $30 and some change returned.

Basically, what this guy did, was rob a bank, via the internet. The money taken, wasn’t even in my account. I went way over into overdrawn status. But he won’t get caught, because it costs more to catch the guy, than it does to just write it off.

So, the lesson here is, do NOT, no matter hard it is to remember, do not use the same password everywhere.

If Barack Obama wants to do something to impress me, he could push for more aggressive laws that catch and prosecute people that do stuff like this. However, I believe that this would be wishful thinking, considering that the Government does not even have the money to properly staff the Federal Communications Commission. (I’m a Amateur Radio Operator, this is how I know…)

Update #3: Bank called today, my account is fixed. But Paypal is still reviewing. So, Hold your fire on donations.

Now running WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

I figured out my problem. it was a hack for the php.ini file on here that was causing wordpress 2.7 beta 1 to not want to work… I got rid of that and no more problems.

Man, if you haven’t see the new wordpress. It’s awesome… Wow!

Just letting everyone know….

I am working with the WordPress team to try and figure out why the new beta version of wordpress is not working on my server here. So, if you happen to come here and see an error 500 or the Blog looking kind of wonky that is why.

That is all.

Where in the World?

I gonna be gone for a few hours. I’ll be out shopping with my Dad.

back to normal posting later.

Update: I made it back. There’s just not anything that I care to blog about. Weekends are like that. I might put up a video or something.

Where in the world?

I am currently listening to the Ed Morrissey Show over at Hotair.com

I’m in the Chatroom. Come join us, if you’re a civil person. You have to register with Ustream.tv to join the chatroom.

Trolls need not apply.

Hey Buddy, can you spare a dime?

I have been meaning to post this entry all day. But have been putting it off. Because, frankly, I hate having to ask.

I am in need of donations here. I do this full time. I have no other means on income. I have no had a job since 2005. A failed career change and tough times here in this state have really affected me.

If you are someone who reads this Blog, even if you do not comment, and you like what you read here. Please, donate. No matter how little and how big, donations are gratefully accepted here.

I do not ask for them often, but knowing that some of you out there like my work enough to donate to the cause, makes running and writing this Blog much more rewarding.

Just so let you know, because of my daring to shove the race baiting of the far left back in their faces, I did lose a few advertisers. Including one that paid half way decent. I mean, the Liberals didn’t break me. But the little money was nice.

Anyway, if you can give, please do so. Every little bit helps and I thank you as always for your loyal and faithful readership and I promise to never let anyone of you down, with my straight opinions and honesty.

Thanks again,

-Pat

D’oh!

I know, people were trying to tell me it was there. But did I listen?!?! No! Mr. Know-it-all Blogger thought it was gone. Whistling Well, I guess I am not as smart as I thought! Doh Loser DUR! Loser Clown

I can now officially report that the photo now known as the “Enough!” Photo is off my server.

What happened? I was looking in the wrong spot! D’oh! Doh Waiting

So, to the person to tried to tell me. Sorry that I didn’t listen. I thought I knew what I was talking about. I guess not! Silly

…..and now the threats start towards me.

Oh, Nice. Now the Fascists begin threatening me.

The Secret Service is the least of your worries, pal. You better keep your children home from school.

Nice…. I wonder if the secret service or the FBI would like to see this, impersonating the President, that’s some seriously hardcore stupidity. I’d be worried, if I had kids.

…Luckily, I don’t.

Update: Yes. I am keeping it in the moderation Que, in case I need it.

About the picture that I created.

For it is worth. Not that it matters at this point.

The images used to create the picture that I made are all available on the internet. I simply googled “Noose” on google images and took a picture of Obama and joined the two using Irfanview, and added the Words “The fucking solution”.

I made that photo a while ago, because of the race baiting on the left that was happening a while back. I never intended to post it to the Blog, ever. But I did because I wanted to mock the baiting of the left that was happening, after reading Michelle Malkin’s posting.

Update: Well….Well…Well…. Look what we have here… This comes via WJNO’s News Junkie Blog:

Now are all you angry Liberals going to send death threats to this person too? (The person that posted it on Reddit, not the Radio Station.)

Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberalism.

Update 2: Seeing there are some of you Liberals, who still don’t seem to get it. Here is another example, that proves the point I was trying to make. Please, CLICK HERE and take a look. Again, you look at that and you tell me which is worse and who is stoking the race hatred in this race. Are you going to send this man death threats too? I doubt it.

Update 3: …and for what it’s worth at this point, not one person from the secret service, government, or anyone has showed up here at all. I did pull it, after all. But the main reason is, because if they arrest me, they’re going to have to arrest all the people that do stuff like this here. So, please stop with the hateful comments, I delete them all anyhow. The fact is, that the left is just as guilty of same thing that I attempted to do, albeit in a untasteful manner. So, please, spare me with your lectures, I know, I should not have went where I did. But you liberals have done the same stuff.

On Comment Moderation

For those upset that I am not approving their comments. I suggest you read my comment policy page.

I just do not approve comments that are insulting to me. I do read them, but I am not giving a place for people to insult me. Sorry, this is my blog and I do control the content here.

I also have been known to post the IP addresses of those who continue to troll here and then block them from commenting.

That is all..
