Hello,
I am desperate!
Around 22:40 tonight i started recieving MANY spam emails ( about over 1000 so far ). It seems an unknown card was added to my paypal account and a transaction was made to this card.
I sent paypal a request trough the messaging system. I changed my passwords.
Any advice you can give me?
HELP!

Suggest a phone call to PayPal as soon as possilbe. This type of probem requires immediate help, not wating for an email response.
Who else has access to your computer or computers where you have a PayPal account?
What is the credit card added?
It's strange that you could still access your account as hacking generally involves someone else changing the password to keep the original owner out.

The call center is closed now i thin. I will call as soon as they open.
Nobody has access to my computer.
The card is a mastercard that ends in 0372.
How i still had access is a mystery. I suspect some sort of virus. I will use another pc to change all passwords later. Right now i'm keeping my email open to delete the continuous spam and monitoring my paypal.
