Hi, i have been subjected to a sim swap scam. The scammers have used the number for 2FA to change the passwords and delete the recovery email. I dont have access to my paypal account or my email linked to it. As well as my bank being frozen etc i still don't have the number back yet either. Any help would be appreciated.
