" Apparently, PayPal was acting on my behalf by freezing my account. They informed me of an attempt to use my account by someone in another country. They were alerted somehow. We went through some security questions, changed the password, etc and they reinstated my account. I was so relieved they had discovered the fraud attempt before it happened. "
DH had a similar experience with Pay Pal but he couldn't get his account unfrozen so he discontinued using Pay Pal.
