Gebuine question, sure you didnt get drunk and order somthing?
Or left your phone unlocked near a mate?
What device/ip adress did paypal say carried out the transaction?
Might be you can prove you werent there
Jesus wept of course I'm sure, I'm sober as a judge and don't have the money to buy a playstation. This is why I'm so alarmed, the ease with which the account was compromised combined with how illogical it all is. My theory is:
1. The seller did it and just won't post
2. The hacker emailed the seller post sale to get it posted elsewhere
Obviously iv emailed the seller saying I didn't buy it
Go on to paypal and unlink tbe avcount?
Absolutely, however what's stopped me is worrying if I did this I'd not have an account linked to refund money to WHEN they refund me..... Because they will be doing this, otherwise I'll have to report it as a crime
If Paypal are saying it doesn't look like there has been unauthorised access to your account, and that holds true, then perhaps someone has compromised the computer you use and has purchased the goods that way. Paypal would see the access as being you, because essentially it is your pc, from your IP doing the buying.
Checked your PC for malware and things?
Yeah that's what I thought and will be my first suggestion at 8am on the phone. And yeah obviously ran full system scans using kaspersky 2016 and Microsofts own stuff and came up with nothing
Also I don't see how this could happen, I own 3 computers and one phone, I don't have a family or house mate that would do this on the sly, I'm technically minded and careful, I'm running Windows 10 latest and macOS serra. I'm naturally obsessed with security.
The whole thing is bizarre, my only theory is its a new form of hack using a previously unknown method (it was just a matter of time) or ebay/PayPal made a mistake or there is an error in the system and its linked someone else's purchase to me, again, all theoretically possible.
What I do know which I swear on my parents lives, which I don't say lightly given my dad is recovering from a recent heart attack..... This transaction is 1000% nothing to do with me, and what's scary, so far every one is doubting this...... Awful, if I CAN get this resolved I'm ditching PayPal, where as a day ago I'd be the last person to say this, life without PayPal is going to be tricky, but I cant have money stolen from me, and then be treated awfully when I'm the victim of crime.
