I’d suggest giving them a call rather than waiting on an e-message. It took a whole 15 minutes to connect, talk, and explain, my situation to a rep. within the next few days everything was sorted out.

I was advised to change my account however, he said that there may have been a possibility of another “attack” on my bank account, linked from PayPal.
