I have to called paypal many time they said will investigate about where my money gone but untill now i can't to get any respond from them and they not allow me open more Dispute case . I very disappointed with paypal service , they not help when got hacker and money lost i have wait over month for want to know where my money gone but no respond . so what happened with paypal service ? they really side with me or they side with hacker ? that is my question but nerver got respond . So now i no hope to get money back i just want to share my experience with who not got hack yet so be careful about your money in balance , if you got hacked your money will lost and paypal won't help , about my experience dont left money too much in balance paypal , just deposit money when you want to pay or something  like that . I have to disappointed with paypal company and not trust they again . sorry my english not good i hope you guys undertand me.

Thanks all,

if somone knows your password,he could access your account and send money under friend and family to another member,is there any one who knows your password.

how do you access Paypal?

phone,laptop,PC,?public library.

whoever the person is know Paypal,under friend and family,sending $$ is not giving a cash gift,there is no protection.

It sounds like your security is weak,someone knows your password and sent $500 to another account under firiend and family.

Paypal said there is no protection under this type of transaction

Paypal recognises your devices,if they found someone use your device ,whether pc or phone to access your account,it is either you allow that person to do so or you are lax in safeguarding your account.

there is a guy who posted he allowed his cousin to use his PC to play games,his cousin did more than that,he used his paypal account to pay for some games,Paypal denied his unauthorised claim

I don't said my system was perfect that why i got virus and stolen my money but if Paypal said there is no protection under this type of transaction it mean paypal they give space for hacker take money customer because hacker know if use family/friend make Transaction money, paypal will no help in this case that why i said paypal weak , so about your example "his cousin did more than that,he used his paypal account to pay for some games,Paypal denied his unauthorised claim" that case not same me because i'm don't allow who to access my PC , my PC got hacked they're access my paypal account make transaction . so now i want to know where my money go and paypal what they do with that hacker to get my money ? i want information about paypal account was take my money i know only email and name. i want more about they information who take my money gone .

since you have his email,try sending him a money request.

we are not Paypal,just be more careful when you use your device to access Paypal,keep changing your password

This is a disgrace. Paypal should revert unauthorized transactions if you can prove your identity, especially if that money has been sent to someone who the user has never sent money to before. You have my sincere condoleances, probably Paypal will argue that it's your fault you got hacked and lost $500(!!!). What a shame.
