Ask HN: Is PayPal an open scam at this point?

Long story short, somebody accidentally sent me money, my PayPal account has "Sorry, we couldn’t confirm it’s you" error.

Sender started dispute and because I couldn't respond PayPal awarded it to my locked account.

There is no way to get in touch with a human. Can't contact them from my account at all, twitter/fb getting only bots, 3rd day I was waiting 2h on the phone...

We are in disbelief.

edit: A lot of people think that I am getting scammed, that is 100%, not the case. I know who the person is, I did paypal transaction with them before. They aren't asking me to send them money, they just made a mistake and wanted the original transaction reversed. It happens.
