How is someone able to make a unauthorised transaction on my account?, every time I make a payment the screen it goes to my barclay card site to check I am the right person before payment is made, so I don't know how someone did it ?
I have been refunded the money so no issue there, I would just like to know how they did it, PayPal wasn't able to tell me just said they were looking into it?
