Hi everyone,
Today I noticed there were 2 Transfer transactions posted on PayPal that I completely did not authorize. One transfer of 20k (which way exceeds my checking balance) and another transfer of 1000 Euro, both are to unknown accounts with unknown emails and were made yesterday. Today I checked my balance on my checking account and notice both the charges from PayPal, which led me to the above discovery. I have contacted the bank, file an Unauthorized Debit claim and they gave me back the money as temporary credit while they are investigating. I also have filed a dispute claim to PayPal for these transactions, however I couldn't get a hold of a live representative to speak about the issue.
What should I expect in this case? I already change my password and setup MFA for the account. I didn't gave anyone permission to access the account so the only reasonable explanation is someone hacking to my account and then made a transfer.
