conversation: User (paypthrow): "So, I was clearing out the old e-mail inbox and around the beginning of the month I found three emails from paypal. \n\nThe first says that someone made a large payment (4 digits) to me. \n\nThe second says that they are investigating a refund request on said payment.\n\nThe third says that the request was ruled in my favor.\n\nI currently have the money in my paypal account, almost a month later (I haven't used my paypal since it happened). What should I do?\n\n Full disclosure: My email address and an old password were compromised, and I've been changing passwords and such to combat repeated attempts to take various accounts of mine (one of these actually led to me cleaning out my emails today), but luckily my paypal has a new pw and 2 factor auth. Also, the email for the person who sent the cash is based in one of those sketchy ad domain holding sites. These two together lead me to believe someone may have been trying to access my account and was foiled by the new security measures. I don't know, have there been cases of people funneling cash through stolen accounts? If that seems like a likely explanation, how should I handle this?"
