Hello. Just wondering if anybody encountered this. I am starting to get transactions into my account from invoices that were created by my account that I never created. My account has now a business account which I did not approve.

Hello @Lauriemcc,
Welcome! Thank you for visiting PayPal's Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear you've run into some unrecognized activity on your account. I can understand how this can be a bit more than concerning. Normally, if you see unauthorized transactions on your PayPal account, you can report them through our Resolution Center. Through that reporting process, you'll be guided to update your password and security questions. You can also cancel any unexpected invoices here.
You can request your account be changed back to a personal account by reaching out to our Customer Support teams as well.
I hope that helps!
