Had a bit of a scare on Monday when I received two emails from Paypal, one thanking me for my payment of £390, and other, a refund for £390. At first I thought it must be a scam, but checked my account (without clicking any links) and realised that it was true and the emails were genuinely from Paypal.
The amount was for a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3, which had absolutely nothing to do with me.
So I changed my account password immediately, then rang Paypal and got through to their fraud department and reported that the transaction was not authorised by me and was therefore fraudulent. The lady I spoke to was very helpful and reassuring and said that Paypal's fraud software had spotted the transaction and immediately reversed it for me, and that should would open a fraud investigation (although what will come of that I don't know!).
However it got me thinking, I use one or two passwords for all my accounts, I don't have the memory power to remember a different password for every account. So began thinking about getting an app for my phone where I can store my passwords securely (and possibly my multiple credit/debit/account PIN's details etc).
Does anyone use any "secure" apps on their phones? If so, views etc please? I have an iPhone so, as long as it's available on there that's good. I don't want an Apple/Android flaming session, just views on apps please! Oh, and I'm not too bothered about cost, but cheaper the better I guess!
