Today, I received a bill from PayPal stating I owe $350 for an account that's linked to an email that I haven't used since 2015. I can't get into the account because someone hacked it and changed the password and security questions. Customer support is no help because I have no info about it. FML

PayPal customer support is no help period. I had someone put through a charge on my credit card, and when I reported fraud they told me there was no fraud. My family members have also had their credit cards compromised thanks to PayPal and they received equally atrocious responses. Report this to the police as PayPal won't try to help you.

You need to file a police report. That is the only thing that will protect you when they turn it over to collections which they WILL do.

you know those emails are usually a scam, right? They are looking for you to punch in personal information to try to get into your account.

Don't pay the bill. Go to the police and report the case as it is fraud as well as identity theft. If Paypal wants to put it on your credit report fight it with the credit report agencies. If you do fight it you will need the police report proving that you have reported it as fraud.

Thirty minutes later, he rings my doorbell and hands me my phone back. He says he fixed the screen but tripped and dropped it walking back to my house, and completely shattered the back. FML
