Hey TomDuong123.

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

If there has been an unauthorised payment on your PayPal account, you can follow the steps to report this to us here http://bit.ly/2hk1vYR. Once reported, we can begin our investigation. This generally takes about 10 days, and we will update you via email during this process. To help protect your account, we ask you to also change your password and security questions by following the steps here: http://bit.ly/2ysjun7.

 

I hope this helps.
David.

I'm sorry to hear this. 

 

If you would like to appeal the outcome of the case, we would advise you to send us an email through the Help & Contact icon at the bottom of any PayPal webpage. 

 

I hope this helps.

I emailed the support and they said they have placed my case to a relevant department,and they'll update about my case,but so far i haven't see a response.
I really need my money back so please is there any faster way to get it back?

Hi @TomDuong123,

 

I'm afraid if that option isn't viable for you, it would be necessary to wait for the review of the appeal to happen on its natural schedule.
