What should I do if I suspect unauthorized activity on my PayPal account?

Asked 5 months ago
If you suspect unauthorized activity on your PayPal account, it is important to act quickly to protect your financial information. First, log into your PayPal account and review your recent transactions for any unfamiliar or suspicious activity. If you identify transactions that you did not authorize, make sure to report them immediately. PayPal Europe has dedicated processes in place for handling such issues. You can navigate to their official website and look for the resolution center, where you can report unauthorized transactions and follow the necessary steps. Additionally, it is advisable to change your account password and enable two-factor authentication for added security. Monitoring your account regularly can help in catching any unauthorized actions early on. Remember to check the website for the most current information on how to proceed with your concerns. Taking prompt action can help minimize potential losses and safeguard your account.
