Someone today that I don't know sent me something, I never knew who or what it was so I declined it. However it took almost L$3000 from me. I relogged and my money came back. It was very strange, has this happened to anyone else?

It was very strange, has this happened to anyone else? Yes, a couple of days ago. I accepted a notecard, and my account was debited for nearly L$12,000. I panicked, mildly . . . until I noticed that, while the money was registered as gone from my transactions page, there was no record of it actually being paid out to anyone. So I relogged, and the money reappeared. This is a variation of something that's happened a few times: I try to pay for something, and my account suddenly empties, and registers -L$1. I have no idea what causes either of them. _____________________

Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

/me wonders if it's an exploit/hack that forces notecard (or whatever) assets to be for sale and tricks the viewer into registering the charge on transfer. Then the back-end says "wha??" and nukes the transaction..
edit: or maybe it's just some viewer weirdness totally unrelated to what I just guessed. I have no idea either way. _____________________

LOL Well, in my case, the notecard came from a very nice and trustworthy Italian communist I know . . . so I am sure he had nothing to with it.  _____________________
