I know my email. I know my password. But it doesn't recognize my computer. Since I'm overseas at the moment, I need to change the mobile number it sends the security text to. And it will not let me do that. I get stuck in a merry go round of log in to change, but won't let me log in until I verify with my old phone number that doesn't work.
I'm not hot about calling PayPal from overseas due to the charges. While I understand this is done for my protection, they need to offer the option of sending a confirmation to my email or my mobile.
The reason I need to get on, oddly enough, is a friends account has been hacked. And he does not know what to do. I wanted to look up the phone numbers so he can contact PayPal and freeze his account. But I can't even look those up since I'm effectively locked out of my account even though I have the correct log in entries! Kind of ticking me off!
