Original Post:

Today when I went to use my paypal debit card at a fast food drive thru, for a very small amount, the cashier said it was declined. While I knew that there was money in my account, I asked them to run it through again. When it was declined again, I called paypal to which I was told that card had been canceled. When I asked who had canceled it, the CS rep said that they had automatically closed it. Due to some cards # being part of a security breach. Of course I was upset since I had no knowledge of this...When I asked IF I was going to be notified of this, the response was she did not know. Told them that it was very embarassing to find this out when making a purchase for less than $5.00.

That was at about lunch today and I received the following email today at 4:30 p.m....Just wanted to know if anyone else got this email?

Below is part of what it said...

We have been informed that your PayPal Debit Card number may have been obtained by an unauthorized party as a result of a security breach at a merchant where your debit card was used to make a purchase. The security of your PayPal account information was not compromised in connection with this event. To help ensure your security, we have taken the proactive step of canceling your PayPal Debit Card. To request a new debit card, please follow the instructions below

Not sure who the merchant was? Sure would like to know, so I can make sure that I never use any kind of card there...Would like to hear from anyone else.
