Type of a scam Phishing

I placed an order through PayPal and wanted to dispute it so I called the bank but they told me I had to contact the seller. I could not get a hold of the seller so I contacted PayPal customer support. The rep had me download an app called AnyDesk because PayPal needed to verify my identity. They said they were going to take the money out of my account to verify who I was and then put it back into my account but they wiped my account.

Type of a scam Phishing

Last night I was calling PayPal regarding an issue with my account. I called a number listed on Facebook 402 935-2050. I spoke to them for a long time, I stupidly gave them too much info regarding all the info for my checking account. Today I realized I was scammed. The number I called listed as PayPal wasn't PayPal. I told the scammers all my checking information. Today when I called PayPal at another number 888-221-1161 they told me that was their only and correct number. I finally realized I was scammed and I froze my checking account at BMO. Tomorrow I will go into the bank branch and set up a new account. Last night I filed a complaint with you regarding PayPal. It was just scammers.

Type of a scam Phishing

Most likely a phishing scam. I have a PayPal account but I never use it. I don't keep money in it, either. So, I never get a statement from them. However, this email was pitched that I had a statement to review. I was suspicious, so I did open it. They said I owed money and could pay it in installments. I closed the email. I cancelled my credit card, too. The email the scammer used was: [email protected]. I tried to enter it in the form for this, but it was not accepted because —surprise!—not a valid email account.

PayPal Scam

I received an email from Paypal stating that the merchant was waiting for payment of $900+ . I do have a Paypal account but have never really used it but twice. Anyhow, I called the number that was on the email and it seemed like they weren't ready to take the call or something and I also got the sense that I was actually calling a home, based on the background noise. Something got my spidey-senses up that made me start questioning him about who he was and demanded to speak with his manager. They are using the Paypal logo and such, and including links and phone numbers that go nowhere near Paypal. Call outside of the email, look up the number and verify that you do indeed owe, or purchased something. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY OR SUPPLY AN INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE. ALWAYS GATHER AN OUTSIDE NUMBER FOR THE COMPANY AND VERIFY TRANSACTIONS.
