Someone hacked into my paypal. Cleaned me out

Good news. I found a person that had more than half a brain, and she investigated and saw how stupid it all was, and put the money back in my account. Tho, she said the money taken out of my bank account might still be processed.

Glad you kept pushing forward James13v, sometimes it takes calling in again and again to get the right person to help you.

Contact your Bank right away too, even if PayPal is doing there thing let your bank know of the unauthorized charge so that ball can get rolling in case paypal doesn't get those finds back your bank will

Boy, Amen to that! In the OLD days, before I saw the light, I had foreign reps suspend me while I was on the phone with them, then I immediately called back till I got a USA rep, and they put me back on......"Rep Selection" is huge when dealing with problems!

Very glad to hear you found someone to do the right thing!

I think you give the people there too much credit, some of them don't seem to even have a brain. but good that they have some people working there that have a common sense and can say "hold on, this is not right" and actually help people.

Should have listened to you. Just checked my bank and the money was out of it. I don't get it. When I withdraw money, paypal is able to stop payment on it, 24-48 hours after. But, I call them MINUTES after, yet they still let the payment go through?

you can still get than bank file a claim with your bank.

problem is, it still takes 45 days. Sales have been slow so far. I needed the money this month

Rather than focusing on who did it and waste precious time, INMHO you should open a case of unauthorized transaction with PP and get promptly refunded. What has happened to you happens every day. Your login details were "sniffed", then probably sold to somebody able to bypass PP protection triggers and enter the account. 4 transfers to 4 different buyers of "cashout services". Probably russian PP receiving the funds but belonging to US-based hackers, as it would be much easier for somebody in US to access your account. Don't despair and work with PP. Good luck!

Actually he already got his money back from PayPal after calling them a few days ago, except for the bank withdrawal which got through. Page three.
