Just had a PayPal payment flash up on my phone to say I'd paid someone £401 for something, I haven't. Tried going on my paypal app and cant log in, tried to get a new password and its says no account associated with my email address.
Checked my internet banking , no withdrawals or pending transactions. Have I been done or is PayPal having issues?
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you sure its not an error 401 rather than £401. Think 401 is a known paypal error so id google that first and see if thats the issue

Re: Have I just been scammed (Paypal)
Just logged into paypal no problem .... looks like might have been hacked .... but is it some sort of scam like the phone calls about £600 going out of your mastercard account....Caballo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 4:36 pmJust had a PayPal payment flash up on my phone to say I'd paid someone £401 for something, I haven't.
