Say someone was to keylog someone's computer and obtained their PayPal account information and a few e-mails. If this person went to another computer not connected to them and sent an e-mail to their own e-mail from the victims saying "Ah here's the money for blahblahblah". Then the person proceeds to login to the PayPal and sends money to his account from the victims, sends an e-mail back saying thank you and all that good shit.
I think this could work, the person can't really prove you did shit, as long as you have all your illegal shit on your computer locked down, or use a second computer that you keep hidden.
Lack of logs from keylogger on computer, e-mail conversations, etc.
Am I missing something here? Help me arrest proof this.

If that fails and the person can prove that they did in fact lose money, PayPal would probably reverse the transfer.
Everything staged for victim would be from a different IP, everything staged from you would be from your computer.
Word against word.
Sources: many years in the business and plain common sense.
OP; go for it, but I hope you realise that this stuff is actually a fair bit harder than the media makes it out to be. There are hundreds of little things you need to know about the various payment services, how they work on a technical level etc.
They'd be pretty handy.
mfw the world is filled with criminals.
mfw there is no face there
I do it all the time.
MFW = MY FACE WHEN.
HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT YOUR FACE IS - THE WHOLE POINT IS YOU PUT A FACE; THERE IS NO POINT OTHERWISE!!!!
Back on thread topic.
OP, would the money be coming straight from the paypal account or is it connected to a bank account or credit card? Does the account belong to a large company, a small company or just an individual person?
Does paypal have security token authentication ? They should at least have SMS confirmation.
