I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM PAYPAL TODAY THAT SAID I AUTHORIZED A $495.00 PAYMENT TO [email protected] AND IF I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE THIS AMOUNT, I WAS TO CALL PAYPAL AT 800-291-5881 TO LET THEM KNOW. INSTEAD, I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAD FALLEN FOR THIS SCAM AND CALLED THE NUMBER AND WAS OUT ALMOST $10,000.

SO, I'M CHANGING MY PASSWORD AND NOTIFYING THE PUBLIC TO BEWARE OF THIS SCAM. NEVER CALL OR CLICK ON SUSPICIOUS EMAILS.

Using official looking PayPal email. Says to go to WalMart and request store to store transfer for to pay moving expenses for an item purchased on Craigslist. Money will only clear to your PayPal account AFTER you pay the shipping costs & fees. I have 3 VERY official looking emails that appear to be from PayPal. I already forwarded them to [email protected] for investigation. Careful when you sell things online. I said local pick up only but would consider shipping if buyer paid all associated charges. Hah! They really tried to get me on this one...

Please let me know if you would like me to forward these same emails to you...

Type of a scam Online Purchase

This seller is pretending to buy an item and pay through paypal, but uses the false email of [email protected] to pretend to be PayPal saying that your payment is on escrow until you send the product. If the email does not end in @paypal.com, it is NOT from paypal. This seller found my listing on the LetGo app, and took our conversation to text message. I have included both numbers. The first time they contacted me she said she was Sarah Jose and that she was sending the laptop to her grandson in Lagos, and that she would add the money for shipment to the payment. Obviously, I never received payment. Then after a lengthy argument and fight, she stopped responding.

Her 'husband' then contacted me to try and resolve the matter and get me to sell him another laptop. I played along to get more information. He wanted the laptop sent to Wilton Disla Lugo in Newark, NJ. I have all email trails and both lengthy text message trails, where he tried to convince me to send it without the payment coming through first because he was a "good godly man" and his wife "was sick with stage 2 cancer".

I have been receiving emails from this fake PayPal saying that I have authorized payments for purchases. I NEVER use my PayPal account anymore, and haven't in years. They are trying to get you to click on the email to complain, which will allow them to get your personal info, and account numbers, etc. I am thoroughly disgusted by all of this, and sick of receiving this stuff!! Please do not fall for these scams.

I looked on line to pay my PayPal account and the first thing that came up said Paypal office with a phone number of 866-885-3888. I called the number and the person on the other end had a heavy accent said that I should pay my account using a google card. I asked to speak to a supervisor, someone that speaks English and was given to a woman, who was not much better. She wanted me to go to the store and purchase it while I was still on my phone. Red Flags went up and I said I could not go to the store at this time. I got off the phone and googled Paypal, got into their website and made the payment.

I received a letter in the mail from "PayPal" saying I had an account and fraud on the account. They told me to call them at 888-361-0687 to verify my information. I called PayPal from their official phone number, and they told me they only correspond through email, not by snail mail. They said the account number on the letter didn't exist, either.

Every other week I receive an email from PayPay advising me I have bought something in the U.S. Always several hundred $. My grand-daughter advised me NOT to open them, just delete. I am NOT a member of PayPal, never have been. Can't figure out how they got my email address. Is there some way to stop these emails?

Apparently I bought Air Jordan 1 retro high ogbg (gs) bredtoe Item 803237 Invoice 102302842 (whatever the heck that is) from flight club NY Ltd 888 937 8020

Received an email with information on a payment made to Facebook in the amount of $151. Wording indicated that if transaction was incorrect to click on the accompanying site to log on and dispute the charge. The email had a lot of the usual characteristics that a PayPal transaction email has but some things were off. So be careful and read through this type of email carefully. Go to a site like PayPal directly not through what seems like a bogus email
