Yes, but it turned out to be an inside job. Don't shop under the influence.

Has anyone ever experienced any hacking into your PayPal account?

No, but there does seem to be a lot of scamming going on right now. I was on my way to bed at 12:05am today, and an eroneous charge came through on my
Apple charge card. Apple is great about blocking and reversing the card, and issuing an instant new card number to my "wallet." But, it was not a
purchase I made. I had been watching a movie on Netflix and just happened to see the notification pop up on my phone.

I guess Drunk Jeff has a certain amount of taste, at least. You'll have to thank him for his good taste while letting him down softly on the whole not spending too much thing.

That he does. Drunk Jeff has impeccable taste, if not financial wherewithal.
He has been forgiven.

I think he means he got blind drunk, then wasted all his PayPal money.

Or maybe he was lucky and spent it in women, alcohol and gambling instead of wasting it.

No, but (I'm sorry) I kinda got a chuckle out of the combination of this question and your name.

Mine was my Apple Credit Card. However when I ran my business, I had paypal
as one option of payment, along with my credit card processing. The first thing would be to immediatly dispute the charge, second change your password, third find their number and call and don't get off the phone until the
problems resolved. It takes a few minutes but better then paying for things you had not purchased. I'd also trace back to all purchases you've made
using that card, to see where the most vulnerable place you have purchased something from -- and not buy from them again. I had bought something off facebook through thin blue line apparel, and my card was hacked 1 week later. So I'm not buying anything via facebook links anymore. The other alternative may have been Drizzly .. as in if my cc number is printed on the order form
or something, dunno. but either way, I just disputed until chargers were reversed, and changed my account number and password. If you know where it came from, call the authorities.

You bet. Paypay will always side with the one disputing the charge,
and if they don't, you can always call. They are very helpful.
