Hello,
In general I haven't used PayPal for several years, but today I decided to log in and when I am trying to go on the step for second authentication - I see a phone number which is not mine and don't see any other option to authenticate - which means that someone is using my account and I have no other option to change phone number for the security code.
Could you please advise?
I was trying to reset my pass, so I read the listed information below how to change it but again I don't see any other option - only a phone call..
Some options will appear so we can proceed with the process of resetting your password:
- Receiving a phone call
- Receiving a text message
- Receive an e-mail
- Answering security questions
- Confirm the card number
Thank you in advance!
