    Pick up the phone and call PayPal immediately.If I was at your place , I would not have wasted a single second and directly contacted Payapl rather than posting it here.We can only give our advice and suggestions but PayPal will be the one sorting this one out for you.

    Paypal customer centre asked me for last four digits of my credit card added to pp and i provided them my cc which i added earlier but they said its incorrect as it is not there in paypal now.

    Actually he told me that he hacked my account through dp, now i don't know how.And he asked for 120$ for it. but i refused and when i saw in my mail box i got mails thats email i.d, password, security question and everything is changed.Also a case of charge back was made on the sites from where i bought an ipod.

    What a minute. He managed to hack into your account and got your money AND then he's asking you to pay him $120 in order to get back your account. I'm just wondering why he didn't just take the money in your paypal anyway and need to ask you $120 for it?????:confused:

    Did you get any suspicious E-Mails from PayPal recently? You probably got phished. Report that E-Mail to . That's a good way to start.

    Listen dnt worry at all.
    Do one things Call paypal,tell them about the fraud and show them the screenshots or prove them with the mail the hacker sent to you.In addition tell paypal every last thing u can tell to verify urself..Like the last payment u received,the last time u sent payment ..or anything relate to that..blah blah blah.....
    Secondly,Most importantly as them to block your account,check the ip change and the great thing tell them that u are ready to prove ur identity by submitting original docs..got it..!!!
    This way u'll surely get back ur account with every single penny..!!!

    ^ Huh why not post it here? That's why we're in a forum. Besides, you just need to call paypal. If you're from another company (other than Canada or USA), call them through VoIP
