When you go to paypal and go to your account. They can see whatever information you had posted there. Also any information that is in your profile. If they used your paypal account, they had to have your password and sign on. You should be very concerned about everything on your computer. You need to run a scan with your anti-virus software. I would also get Superantispyware and Malwarebytes anti-malware from download.com. Download, install, and update these programs and run a full scan with each of them. If your computer has a information stealing trojan on it. They may have information from all your accounts. Do not sign on to any of them on that computer in till your make sure it's clean.

But the password can change everything.

If the former, what you have already done are the right steps, but you should also scan your computer for malware to make sure it hasn't been hacked (which might have enabled someone to steal your PayPal password). If the latter, you instead should get your Visa card number changed, or they will probably try to use it again It depends on whether they actually logged into your PayPal account, or if you have a PayPal visa card account which someone used.

Poster listen to Ed G's advice, be very concerned as to how someone hacked (?) your account. 98% (I can't find the report, doh) of fraudulent account usage WORLDWIDE is because the thief KNEW the password from information given by the account owner either knowingly or unknowingly (phishing) You have an information leak (98% positive) The safest course of action, cancel all your accounts and set up new ones, not that big a deal really, compared to loosing alot of money! Your name is most probably on a 'alert list' now and can affect your credit rating! Worth looking into. Ed G TOP MARKS!!!

You have an information leak (98% positive)

The safest course of action, cancel all your accounts and set up new ones, not that big a deal really, compared to loosing alot of money!

Your name is most probably on a ‘alert list’ now and can affect your credit rating! Worth looking into.
