Hi @Wangjimmy,
Welcome to the community and thank you for your post.
I am sorry to hear what has happened. I know this must be concerning. It sounds like your phone number may be being used on a PayPal account. I would advise you to contact our customer support to get this reported.
To do this, simply click on 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal page.
