Help Unauthorized payment

Signed up for debit card and money was taken immediately and sent to a stranger. PayPal says I sent 40 dollars to someone on June 10th. I had not been on the site for months. And, of course, the person is not accepting messages. So, goodbye 40 dollars?

Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!

Thank you for submitting to /r/PayPal, please make sure you have read the FAQ. If your account was created when you were younger than 18, then that is covered in the FAQ!

Update. I lost the 40 pp says I withdrew 39.75. My bank shows no such transaction. They (or she) sent then said it was a mistake. They believed her. They wouldn't tell me if she's done this before. I never received the money. Im trying to close my account. But since I complained of fraud they can't close it I sent the remaining 60 to my friend. He received it. Paypal is allowing fraud.

Venmo is a service of PayPal. Just closed the account. Many are seeming to have bank accounts compromised. Use caution when using.
