I got a text from paypal saying that the charge for 4.99 went through but that I owed $400 and then a bunch of texts with random numbers and letters. When I called the number, it didn't say paypal, it just said payment processing, and when I tried to ask about things, they hung up. So I called back and someone else hung up on me. And now they won't answer my calls. I don't have a paypal account and don't use it, so I don't have any charges.

I was sent an email from what I thought was from PayPal thanking me for a recent purchase I made buying Norton standard Lifelock antivirus protection plan for 2 years at the price of 349.00 dollars, which I did not buy.

The invoice looked very real, which is probably the point! Anyway I called the number on the invoice and told them that I didn't purchase that product and then they ask me for all my information so that they could issue a refund asap. I gave it to them and was told that the funds would be return to me immediately! They were very elaborate, Showed me that they were affiliated with the ScamPulse.com and everything i downloaded a bunch of stuff that was suppose to be legit like by.ly/com was one of them i can't recall the rest but it all looked above board! Now I'm afraid that they have all my info. to take what little money i get from the government for retirement. I really hope you guys can catch these people who prey on the weak and unexpecting people like me who Is living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to lose 1 penny of the money they receive to live on. Thank you for listening to an old guy!

Respectfully **** ****

Received an email including an invoice from PayPal in the amount of $499.99. Stating Online delivery. For Coin Base. With their Customer Service Number of 1-860-386-8450. With a purchase date of Sept. 27, 2024. I looked up PayPal's Customer Service number and the number that was given is not that number. Plus, I have NEVER used PayPal in my life. This is a SCAM.

Received an email from Paypal saying that my order was successfully placed for McAfee Protection by auto pay. They advised me to contact them if I do not have an account with them. When I call the helpline they told me to contact the better business bureau to file a complaint. I hung up.

He called like he was a PayPal agent and asked me to go to my PayPal so he could fix the issue then he had me down load a app called assist client and had me open my debit accounts PayPal cash app and current then he had me transfer money back and forth then said let’s see if bitcoin works on cash app he also tried to get me to download Zelle and magic app he took my 267 through bitcoin and said the money would go back in two hours

Your withdrawal of 0.00428234 BTC is now confirmed on the blockchain.

That is the bitcoin address he had me use I never asked his name because I really thought he worked for PayPal

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.

Received a fraudulent email claiming that I had ordered a digital camera kit for $598 and had an order number as well as a customer service number attached (830)715-4431.

The scammers had me pay for three different gift card purchases totaling $398.

I have also notified and submitted the email to PayPal as well as informed them and had to deactivate my debit card and order a new one

I received an email with a fake invoice for a shotgun I did not order and clearly would not order. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the email to call (888) 682-2864 if I wanted to dispute the charges. I knew instantly this was fake and did not call.

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.

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.

My mother was called by a Mexican Scammer claiming to be from Paypal. She doesn't use Paypal. The guy was shady because I wouldn't let him talk to her. I called him out when he said he was from Paypal and not to call again! Law enforcement and the feds must be alerted!
