Pal Pays

I was recently the victim of an attack on my Skype account and found that I had suffered financial loss as a result.

Here's how the conversation didn't go...

Filthy Miscreant: He he, I've taken over your Skype account. I'm going to make some calls to Israel and Jordan. And I notice it's linked to your PayPal account. I think I'll be topping up the credit too. Ta very much!
Me: Ooh you blighter. How do you know Jordan?
Filthy Miscreant: Very funny. I mean the country, of course.
Skype: Hey what's going on here? This account looks like it's been hacked, I think we'll be freezing it.
Filthy Miscreant: Awww.
Me: Thanks Skype.
Skype: No problem.
Me: So, can I have that money back please? It's about 50 quid.
Skype: 62 quid and 71 pence actually. But no, not unless you start a criminal investigation with your local police.
Me: I sincerely doubt that they would take that seriously.
Skype: Well, it's your choice. Sorry.
...
Me: Hey PayPal, my Skype account got broken into and I had money stolen. I'm going to ask my bank to back-charge those payments because...
PayPal: Whoah whoah whoah, ok. We don't want any back-charges thanks very much! We'll sort it out with Skype.
...
Skype: OK, here's your money. Be more careful in future.
Me: I was, I have a good password. But anyway, thanks!
