I  have had someone enter my account a couple of days ago but i did not have any money in that particular account.But in the middle of the night i started getting notifications of several payments being recieved by my paypal which was odd as i stopped selling on ebay a while back.Long story short there are around 30 odd unauthorised claims from other paypal accounts asking for money i dont have which leads me to believe i could be forced to pay back whatever this hacker has stolen.I would like to know what actions i can take as right now my paypal is restricted and i fear i maybe forced to pay back every pound this hacker has stolen.PLEASE I NEED HELP.

Was there a withdraw of the payments received?  

 

Check the Wallet for any changes to bank account and card info or any newly added accounts listed. Also change password and security questions. You may want to contact your bank and cards to get new accounts as they may have been compromised and/or advise that they look for any suspicious transactions.

 

You should contact PayPal customer service to speak with an agent about those 30 odd disputes and report that it is a result of unauthorized access to your account.  You can also contact PP via Facebook or Twitter.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
