Contact the Federal Trade Commision and file a report. It is best if you actually speak to an agent. Cal[Removed. Phone #s not permitted] I had a similar situation happen to me and didn't know where to turn. They will help you file a formal complaint. Also file a report with your local Police. Contact the 3 major credit bureaus and place a freeze or a fraud alert on your account with the 3 bureaus. Change ALL of your passwords and so on. The FTC has Identity Theft Recovery Plan Packets available on the website. Use them as guides they are helpful. I am on hold (of course) with PayPal this very moment, waiting to give them my arsenal of reports and other evidence and info that I have collected and filed regarding my fraud situation. I hope by having all my ducks in a row and having this info helps my case. Clearly PayPal has a problem, and they are as equally responsible as the thieves are. I am not gonna take this lying down and Im done crying about it. I refuse to be victimized by PayPal too, not when they were the ones in charge of protecting my money while in there trust! Nope! Nuh Uh! Its not only WRONG its BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. If they receive enough complaints the FTC will investigate and take them to court. DON'T GIVE UP! DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HOLD THE THIEVES AND PAYPAL RESPONSIBLE!
