I recently discovered that my PayPal account was hacked. Someone made unauthorized payments for a phone bill, a Netflix subscription, and other purchases totaling £40 on Shein. I found out about these transactions through my bank statement. When I tried logging into my PayPal account to request refunds, I realized that my password had been changed. I called my bank and blocked any further transactions from PayPal, but I still can't access my account. I'm worried and considering deleting the email/Google account I used to sign up for PayPal, but will that actually delete my PayPal account as well?

Hey, sorry to hear about your PayPal issues! How exactly did it get hacked? Did you maybe click on a shady link or did someone guess your password? That info could help figure things out.
I'm really not sure. I try to avoid clicking on anything suspicious, so it might be a data breach or something. All I know is those transactions definitely weren't made by me. 🙁
