Wednesday, somebody stole the login information for my Paypal account and started making outrageous charges. One for almost $500, one for $700 and another for over $1000. Paypal caught the first one, notified me and I denied it. Got refunded the next day. But they didn't flag the other two. However I filed disputes on them anyway. Paypal denied my disputes, claiming the transactions weren't unauthorized because they were consistent with my account activity. Here's the problem: There has never been a time since I've had this Paypal account that I've tried to spend almost $2000 at once. It's literally never happened. Also, all three charges were billed to me in Ohio, but the shipping address was in Michigan. I have never shipped anything to any place except my home address. Nothing about those charges are consistent with my account activity. I spoke to a representative on the phone earlier this afternoon, and he said he would look into them. I explained the situation to him. This should have been an obvious fraud case. It makes absolutely no sense why my claims were denied. Where do I go from here? That was my money. I worked hard for it. And having $1800 taken from my account at once has severely overdrawn it. I need that money, how do I get it back.
