So, I'll admit it. I downloaded something I shouldn't have, I did all the dumb things dumb people do and allowed it.

I noticed my PC was acting weird. Chrome would exit out, and reopen. Then I saw a window off to the side, hidden, but I brought it onto the screen and unplugged the NIC.

Yep, stupid games, stupid prizes. It had paypal open, and a few other sites. Two "friends and family" sends for money, $350 and then $362. It came from my PC, so Paypal has sided with the "seller".

Well, since I saw this happen, before the funds were taken from my bank, I closed my checking account, and deleted my bank information from Paypal, which they probably still have stored. Is it possible they'll charge my savings account, which was also linked, and should I close that out too? Any other constructive advice (besides, "dude wtf?")
