Hello @Meriane,
I'm sorry to hear your account has been compromised. Normally, if you need to report any unauthorized activity through your PayPal account, you can do so through our Resolution Center. Since it sounds like you're unable to login to your account, I'd recommend reaching out to our Customer Support teams. You can reach Customer Support by clicking Contact and then Message Us at the bottom of the PayPal page. They're also available through Twitter direct message or Facebook instant message.
Best wishes,
- Jon K
