Unauthorized Paypal INST XFER

[Smiped]

Hi guys I just logged on to my bank account and in the transactions I see two "PAYPAL INST XFER LARSONROBBER WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 - $25.00" transactions (total $50.00) and another "PAYPAL INST XFER MKATHLEEN83 WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 - $6.50" transaction. The first transfer with the name "LARSONROBBER" is kind of blantant that this is a scam transaction that I did not authorize.

I never authorized these payments and in fact I rarely ever spend on my bank account so I'm certain I've never mistakenly bought something that I didn't realize. I am trying to dispute the transaction online through PAYPAL but I cannot seem to find the transaction ID. Help please!

Are there transactions in your PayPal account for the same day?

Have you ever used your bank debit card to make in-person payments?

Well on the 13th there was another payment made, BUT it was that of another unauthorized transaction, the "mkathleen" one. No I have never used my debit card in person.

Have you ever used your bank debit card for an online purchase?

[Smiped]

Yes I have used my debit card for an online purchase.

Online bank debit card use would show up as PayPal if the merchant processed the online purchase through PayPal.  It would not show up on your PayPal account.  It would be the same for an inperson purchase if the vendor used PayPal Here.

I just noticed 3 charges in an account that I've never attached to paypal. The account the charges showed up in is linked to an account that is attached to my paypal via online banking at Chase (my liquid account is lnked to Paypal but 3 charges for $1, $3.95, and $1 were withdrawn from a Trust account that I have never affiliated with Paypal). I'm responsible for reconciling this account as the Trustee and am concerned that paypal has somehow attached itself to an account I've never authorized it to. Please help me figure this out, as it's more than alarming.

I should say that I checked the dates of the charges against my liquid account (the account that is attached to Paypal) and no transactions with a paypal merchant were made on the dates. Sooooo........what's going on?

They took out .20 cents twice, then credited my savings account .40 cents.  Then 10 days later took out $5.00.  I called the bank and they said that hackers do this to see if the account has funds, they will then make small purchases before making a large purchase.  The name this hacker used was Jason <removed>.  I am filing a police report as this is the 2nd time this has happened in 2 weeks.  The first time someone named Janice <removed> (accused thief) hacked into my checking account and stole $4,000 to pay off her Chase Credit Card.  PLEASE file police reprots - even for the smallest amout.  If we all make enough noise, the police will pay more attention and actually prosecute these scum bags.
