I recently discovered that someone transferred at total of @$240.00 to another human being from my account that had been compromised by someone hacking in and adding an email to the account.
2 separate transactions were made, the first was $100.00, the second $140.00. I filed a case in the resolution center and was denied both the first time, I appealed and believe it or not, I received $100.00 saying that whoever it was who took the money received it by error returned it to me. Since PayPal is aware of this incident and knows that I didn't do this because of the refund from the person.
PayPal is trying to bully me, they refuse to help, I want my $140.00 and yet I am systematically denied when I go back to appeal it. I bring it to you as PayPal obviously doesn't give a **bleep** about any of us even though they suck their fees out of you and hold money left and right, they refuse to budge when they in fact are wrong.
I am going to the media as well as fike criminal charges against Pay Pay as theri negagence allowed a thief to steal my money and they cover for them, why? The customer service ladt informed me that this person has a negative balance right now. Is that my problem?
Has anyone else dealt with such incomitance here ayt PayPal so I can possibky not feel targeted.

Suggest you check any recent emails and make sure you didn't click on any suspect link on a phishing email + do a malware and anti virus scan on your computer.

I realize this is an old thread, but i just woke up today to find two emails from paypal overnight that two withdrawals were made from my paypal balance. About $1100 total. called paypal right away and logged a case and the girl i spoke to said yup, this looks like fraud. Somebody hacked into my pp account and added a bank account and then transferred all my funds. Within an hour of the case bing created i received a denial email. I then called back to start an appeal, the person was not overly helpful and said the appeal can take some time.
I see many cases on here where paypal denies their customers the refunds and noticed you said something about contacting local tv station about this sort of thing. May i ask who you spoke to at paypal with the threat to go to a tv station? I plan to do the same if i get my appeal denied as well as better business bureau complaints. I actually know somebody who works for a local tv station and radio, so my threat wont be a bluff.

Same thing happened to me, 3 transactions I didn't make, one did get refunded but then two towards Discord (I have never put money or payment information into Discord) and PayPal refuses to refund those and claimed they "weren't unauthorized"
