This just happened today. Last night while sleeping received 3 text messages from PP asking for a transaction to be authorized. When checking the phone this morning replied 2 as instructed to deny the transaction but it was too late. PP had already processed the transaction and took the total amount from my checking account ($3040.00), now my account is in overdraft and soon fees will start to creep up. Opened a dispute on PP and my bank. PP closed the dispute indicating that the transaction wasn't covered because was authorized. Have been trying to get a hold of someone thru messaging and calls to no avail, the phone message says that there are no reps available due to the pandemic. Someone took a quick look and decided against me but no word on my messages. Is amazing that PP has a text confirmation system and if the text is left unanswered they go ahead and proceed or could have been that my number was spoofed by the person that hacked my account and replied? I don't know but all I know is that I would like to see the logs and IP addresses used on this transaction and I'm not giving up without a fight, loosing 3k that I don't even have is not fun. After this is settled I'll remove my bank account information, will only use a card that has protection against this crap and maybe remove my account and find another way.
