Hi @Jmez1600m,
I'm sorry to hear that there's unrecognized activity on your PayPal account. If a fraudster did access your account using your password, it's crucial that you change that password right away to prevent them accessing your account again to try to get the money out of the account.
Please also check your account thoroughly for any other unauthorized activity. If you do come across any transactions that you did not make, please report them.
You may also wish to take into account these tips for checking your system's security.
If the funds have cleared to your PayPal balance, you may absolutely withdraw them.
I hope this helps!
Olivia

This just happened to me too, twice in one week! First I received emails from PayPal in Spanish. Then I saw $1,000 was taken out from my bank (pending status) and is also in pending status in my PayPal account. I was able to call my bank and put a stop payment so the transaction in my PayPal account failed. It was back in my bank account the next day.
But yesterday, it there was another $1,000 deposit (pending status) in my PayPal account but this time it took it from my other bank account. The difference is this one was never in pending status in my bank, it was immediately put in processed status in my bank account. SO now I have to wait until it is resolved by the bank investigating it.
I attempted to close my PayPal account since this is really scary that it happened twice within a week's time but it's saying that I have to wait until the $1,000 actually is posted in PayPal before I can close it. Such a bummer that PayPal is not safe anymore. I try to report it to PayPal but it won't let me because it's incoming not outgoing. On top of all this, I can't even speak to a representative. So frustrating!
