This happened to me, someone somehow got my account and then they asked for the payment id of the Paypal transaction from over a decade ago for me to recover it. I don't even know if I can find that.

I ended up just buying it again. Pretty obnoxious.

Same here, except I did manage to find the original transaction ID, and they still wouldn't give me access to my account. They acknowledged (after several months' wait time) that the ID was correct, but they claim the account is associated with a different email address -- even though the PayPal receipt is still in my inbox! And until I can guess which incorrect address is in their records, they won't reset the password.

(This contradicts their written policy, which says that even if you lose access to the original email address, the transaction ID should be enough to recover the account. When I pointed this out to their support representative, they ignored me and closed the ticket.)

Same happened to someone I know. After providing the transaction id, they came backn with "sorry we lost our records for that time period, good luck regaining access to your lost email account instead lol"

How can this be legal? This time it's just a game, but there are quite some important things online nowadays.

Could this perhaps be a gmail.com vs googlemail.com thing? Perhaps using [e-mail] will work, if gmail is your email provider in this case.

That's a good idea. I'll have to try that if I can ever manage to get a hold of a human being again.
