Yes, this happened to us just yesterday. Be very careful because PayPal is not as secure as it used to be and they are not sufficiently supporting their customers when this happens. I received this from them: "We've completed our review of your unauthorized activity case, and we’ve determined there was no unauthorized use. Based on our review, we found this transaction is consistent with your PayPal payment history." I had only opened the case that day... how much investigation could they have done? We rarely transfer money and never in the thousands and never in US funds as we live in Canada so it's not at all consistent with our payment history. The hacker transferred 2 x $2500 USD from two different bank accounts. Thankfully we caught it in time and put a stop to all charges from PayPal at our bank. Paypal needs to step up and investigate this further. There are many alternative ways of sending funds now and I would advise severely limiting Paypal usage until they learn to catch stuff like this.
