This is a long story but here are some key points:
My account was completely taken over. Changed email, password, and deactivated my consoles. Kept my PayPal, though and used it to buy Bloodborne (already owned) and GTA V.
I reported the take over, and asked for a refund.
They issued the refund BEFORE GIVING ME ACCOUNT ACCESS.
Hacker uses refund for GTA IV, Destiny, and a Battlefield Cosmetic Kit.
Playstation Customer Service chat/call center won't help.
Reference# with all of the Customer Service's notes: 10333934
Here is a reddit post with all the nitty gritty and me ranting a bit, and a picture of my cat, Sasha who kept me company throughout the entire process. It also contains some of the chat logs highlights.
