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.
