Paypal

Over 1200 pound taken from my bank account to top up paypal.
Any ideas why they would do that, thanks

No.

If you don't remember asking for it, or authorising it, it could be a scam.

Phone your bank, TODAY

I happen to have the number of my bank's fraud department. Most people won't, but there should be a customer service number on the back of your debit card,

You can ring 159, whatever the bank.

How it works 159 works in the same way as 101 for the police or 111 for the NHS. It’s the number you can trust to get you through to your bank safely and securely, every time. So if you think someone is trying to trick you into handing over money or personal details –...

Curiously, your screenshot shows £1250 coming in, and £1250 going out. You're sure you didn't buy or sell something?

Going by the dates of the transactions, perhaps Paypal credited your a/c in error, then Abbey debited it.

Looks like some sort of money laundering to me. Do you know anything about the Abbey payment of the same amount?

A similar thing happened with my son and an unexplained Uber debit from his account. Turns out that my son was second go-to nominated card holder on his girlfriends Uber account. Turns out she was cabbing around France with insufficient funds, so they debited his card.

Young love, eh.

When I noticed the credit in PayPal, it was me that transferred it back to the bank.
I was worried when I see the email it had been withdrawn but glad to see it was in my account and not someone elses
