£1300 is to be transacted through her account tomorrow. How could this happen when it's supposed to be a secure payment method what a f*****g joke. How is this to be resolved PayPal ?

PayPal is secure but if her account was hacked then maybe get a more secure password and double check your anti virus.
Also check she has not responded to a spoof email supposedly from PayPal as that is how most accounts are hijacked.
Have you filed for an unauthorised transaction via the resolution tab in your PayPal account?

Between the bank and PayPal it should be sorted but I hope you have filed via the resolution tab as well.
Please check the other options as they are the main ways horrid scammers get your account.
Good luck and keep us updated.
