Green Dot Bank Account Added & Unauthorized Transfer

[AnnieGW515]

All of a sudden Green Dot Bank shows up in my bank account list ... I NEVER added it, don't even know who they are! Account was 'unconfirmed' since the 2 discreet deposits were never verified! Then an unauthorized transfer takes place for all of my PayPal balance, leaving only the remaining cents. Really, how can Paypal transfer money to an 'unconfirmed' account? Seems like if they wanted to protect their customers, accounts need to be confirmed prior to any transfers, especially some random prepaid card (from what I am now learning regarding who they are and a possible scam!).

I have already reported this issue in Paypal's Resolution Center, changed all log-ins and of course, removed the unauthorized account. I see the dispute is still open but just curious...

1. Do you get any emails from Paypal on this issue/case? (Have not received any yet.)

2. How long does it take for dispute resolution?

3. Is there any hope on getting my funds back?

Thanks!

Similar case for me: Two Unathorized accounts made. One was the GREENDOT ACCOUNT and the other one was a GE Capital Account. Both accounts ended with the same 4 numbers. I only caught it because I checked my email and had a Chinese Paypal email that I had to translate. I reported it and the transfer was reveresed and funds back in my Paypal account by the time I got back to my summary page. Not sure what is up, but if they're getting hacked this badly, then they need to do some seriouis security upgrades. It's just weird to me that the money got reveresed so quickly. Kinda makes me think it's a glitch on Paypals part although I don't know how that could be. Seriously messed up though whatever it is. Peace in the mid east, raining in spain. Keep your buttholes tight and your paypal tighter!
