Ok, so they've decided in my favour, a refund has been issued.......... But my bank is still £53 down, and my PayPal account shows £0.00. Just been on the phone to them, although I'm the victim and I have proven that, and although the refund has been issued they're holding onto the money and it won't appear in my PayPal until at least the 8th-10th, but they won't be returning it to my bank, once it re-appears its then up to me to log in and withdraw funds which can take between 2-72hrs.
How is it that someone can fraudulently withdraw funds from my bank to PayPal to themselves in whatever friggin country in a matter of seconds, yet it will take me potentially upto 13days to get my money back where it belongs! Something sucks with this system. Spoke to the council today they've given me some leeway but its still a big kick in the danglies when I never did out wrong, and they still have no answers as to how the fraudsters managed to get their paws on my money in the first place.
