I found out someone gotten access to my PayPal account and withdrew money from it.
I haven’t used this account since mid January and it’s connected to an old phone number I discarded in late January. Called my bank and they said since the transactions that have been sent via PayPal is still pending I can’t dispute it until it’s posted up and not pending. The email that’s connected to the PayPal is an outlook.com email. I can’t remember if I created it for that account but I highly doubt it since it’s got the year 2025 in its name and I’ve had the account since 2022. It does use a photo I could’ve used back then but like I said I haven’t been on in months.
So if my bank can’t do anything until later what else can be done? I called PayPal and outlook (micro soft) support and they’re pretty much useless at this moment sadly. What next steps should I take?
