On the 27th December someone unauthorised logged into my paypal account and transfered two payments of £3000 to their account and also tried to transfer another £10,000 which was declined by my bank. The two £3000 payments were taken from my bank account by paypal yesterday. 

 

I contacted paypal yesterday as soon as I was aware of the fraud and I was told that there was a good chance that the money would be returned but tonight I reciecved an email to tell me that they dont believe that i didnt make the payments, email below:

 

Dear Brian Dorey,
 
We've investigated your unauthorised payment claim.
 
We've reviewed your account and we're satisfied that your account is secure and there has been no access by a third party. For this reason, we're unable to proceed with your unauthorised payment claim.
 
If you're unhappy with a particular purchase, we encourage you to work with your seller to find a resolution. If a product you purchased never arrived or was significantly not as described, you may be entitled to open a dispute in the Resolution Centre and be covered by our Buyer Protection.

Yours sincerely,
Nadia

As it seems that PayPal dosnt want to do anything to help with this missing £6000 is there anything else I can do to try to get my money which has been stolen from my business?

Hi apexweb,

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum and welcome as a new member! 

 

Your question is very account specific and we would be unable to tell you why this has happened over a public forum. I would suggest contacting us via Facebook - https://www facebook.com/PayPalUK/, Twitter - @AskPayPal., email or phone and we would be happy to advise.
