I contacted PayPal, and after over 30 minutes of their investigation and instructions, I still did not get my money refunded. I may never get it refunded. And it was not a small amount, either. So I sent the money again, only this time, the correct recipient received the money. Then I changed my password to my PayPal account.
The man at PayPal was very courteous and helpful, although it was difficult to understand him as his command of our language was not the best, and we got disconnected twice. He told me that I had many hackers after my money and someone in Texxas was trying to buy BitCoin from my account. I had a transaction that was marked completed from Edward R. Jones, a financial trader for $300.00 and I have never done business with that company.
I have been instructed to no longer use PayPal until this mess is resolved. Which is a real hassle because I pay many bills and shop online via PayPal. I'll have to contact each of these businesses and explain why their expected payments will not go through. I will be socked with expensive late fees and a lot of trouble to get alternative payment sources set up. All on my measly Social Security income.
Hackers are doing a booming business out there, folks. So watch your accounts closely. If you see anything you don't recognize, let your financial institution know immediately. It will help prevent you becoming a victim like I am.
Merry Christmas!
