Hello,
I found out a few hours ago that someone bought airline tickets using my paypal account. I saw a email from Paypal that I was charge almost $900 for a flight I never booked. They wiped out my Paypal balance plus took money from my checking account. I immediatly called Paypal for help and they opened a ticket. I have also changed my password + security questions.
Does anyone know the success in getting money back? How long does this take? How could someone hack into my account?
Thanks,
Joe

It depends on what happened and what device was used.
It depends on the details in your checking accont.
It's time to check the security of all devicies you use and to investigate who has access to your devices and credit cards? Does anyone else live with you? Has anyone else ever used your account on one of your devices?
It's time to do your own investigation.
What is your idea how someone got into your PayPal account?

Hi DPCreations,
The paypal representative said someone could have gotten access to my paypal account through a fraud Facebook link. No one knows my password and I do not have auto log in so I dont know how else someone could use my account. My checking account was charged because the ticket cost more money than what was in my paypal balance. My accounts are linked so it took money out of my checking account automatically.
I am stumped, worried and just hope I can get my money back.
Thanks

If PayPal finds it was a hack you should get your money back. But, if PayPal finds the access was actually through your internet access or that you left your Facebook account insecure, then you would be out the money.
