    Whenever you get an email from paypal, ebay, banks etc always go to the site directly. You must have clicked on the link on the email, NEVER click on links on emails, this is the scammers website, you then log into their site (that looks like paypal) and give them all your paypal login info so they can spend your money.

    I didnt click on any emails, I was getting mail direct from paypal and I logged in on their site. 2 of the payments were stopped by paypal straight away and the other 2 were reversed eventually and paid back to my card so thankfully I have all of my money back :)
