Paypal or iTunes fraud?

[Big Cuddly Bear]

I just looked at my email... I have 3 charges for $50 that I didn't make. Plus 1 for $5.99. I have my iTunes account linked to Paypal

Which is the likely culprit? iTunes?

I know 2 people who have had their ITunes acct hacked, it happpens often so I wouldn't keep your paypal or your CC acct on file there, just use Itunes cards.

Are all the charges from Itunes?

Yep... all from iTunes. And I will now do that - use the cards.

I would suggest changing your iTunes password and possibly contact iTunes to see if you can get reimbursed (or possibly PayPal).

You might also want to change your PayPal password.

Also, you can "deauthorize" all computers attached to your iTunes account. That way whoever hacked your account will not be able to play the songs they bought. You will then have to reauthorize your current computer. See this time for more about that: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420

I just had a similar issue with iTunes (although mine wasn't hacked thank goodness, it was a gift card issue.) I contacted their support team via e-mail and had an answer by the next day. They also told me about another computer being authorized for my account that I had never authorized. So I just want to reiterate what PP said, make sure you take care of those authorized computers.
