Someone opened up a PayPal account in my name a few weeks ago using an old address. I canceled my PayPal account years ago because I was afraid of it being linked to my bank.
It took an hour to get past the AI who kept hanging up on me. I’m more concerned after reading the article.
How did you know the PayPal account had been created?
They alerted my old accounts email. It had a number and email that wasn’t mine. The scammer used an Authenticator app that made it harder to cancel.
