    If you answered that email without requesting it, it's time to call the bank.
    If not, check if "caps lock" is on :)

    It is possible that you could have been hacked.

    I'm not sure, though, because this has never happened to me.

    After you requested your password were you able to login? Or are you still out?

    I can't even log in..The account is under my dads name and what not, and he's not home..Kinda worried right now, not sure whats going on..This would be easy if I remembered the security questions..Do paypal accounts get hacked?

    Did you open any phish emails? They're fake paypal email addresses.. if you login to paypal through one of their "links" (which is a fake login) then :( you probably got hacked.

    Yep I have had this before. A hacker got into my account. I had my password changed as well as security questions and all the money transferred to another account, then the hacker closed the account. Fortunately I called pay pal straight away and they noticed what had happened and froze the hackers account. I got the money back within 1 week of calling them. Hope you get it sorted soon.

    It would not accept my password at some point. I was half way through requesting a new one when it worked again. :s
