It was not my PayPal that was hacked it was my Direct Deposit information on my work account. And yes I changed passwords scrubbed Notebook and smartphone to make sure nothing was on it. My place of work has an App "fieldnation" that I highly suspect is the culprit but the company says it is up to me to keep DD info safe so they are not willing to help all they were concerned about is "did the DD transaction go through and the Bank that handles these DD deposits (Wells Fargo) did deposit $ into the bogus account so I am out $3500.
