This morning I recieved an email from someone claiming to be with Paypal.  It said I authorized a payment of $599.00 and I did not.  I called the number in the email and the man tried to get me to gove him my personal information.  When I refused he got mad and hung up.

I received a phone call today from someone claiming to be with PayPal. Told me I received a loan. The man said somebody used my name. He is calling me for the delinquent bill of $789. To dispute charge call 813-799-2007. I called the number back. I said I never took out a loan. I don't use PayPal. He hung up on me two or three times. I said I don't owe $789. I received an email. This is a scam.

WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER 888-454-1187 IT WAS ANSWERED BY A DAVID RIZED STATING HE WAS WITH PAYPALL AND PROVIDED HIS CALL BACK NUMBER OF 412-533-4018. HE DID NOT SPEAK VERY GOOD ENGLISH APPEARD TO BE FROM INDIA. HE ADVISED ME SOMEONE HAD OPEND A PAY PAL CREDIT LINE OF $5,000 AND TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY TO CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT WAS TO PURCHACE A $500 GIFT CARD FROM NORDSTROMS.

I CALLED DAVID BACK AND ASKED FOR HIS SUPERVIOR SEAN WHO ALSO SPOKE WITH AN INDIAN ACCENT AND IDENFIED HIMSELF AS A MANAGER WITH PAY PAL. HE REQ I PURCHACSE ANOTHER GIFT CARD IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A SECURITY CODE WHICH THEY STATED WAS ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO CLOSE MY PAY PAL CREDIT LINE. I HUNG UP. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT

I saw a scam in my email yesterday. When I clicked on the email it did not make sense. It appeared to be from PayPal. It stated, we have received and confirmed your order. We thank you for choosing us as your favorite payment processor. Your order will deliver on February 13th. Call phone number 866-545-5108 if you have further questions. I don't use PyPal. I called the number. The person that answered said it was PayPal. I told them I did not order anything. I was directed to go to a new window and eliminate. They said $466.68 was collected in a bank account. They did not ask for account number. Every time I said I did not know any thing they told me not to worry. I did not give any personal information or pay money. They already had my email.

Sent email to me confirming a PayPal purchase at a Walmart in Texas for a Valentine Week Gift Hamper for $271.49. It said if you did not make this purchase you have 24 hrs to call us to get an instant refund. I did not make this purchase! The name the email came from is Marsha Hodes but cannot see the email address it was sent from.

This was a very convincing Paypal spoof. All links directed to www.paypal.com (except 1 to billmelater.com). The message was sent to "inactive" email account. Sender information includes phone number for Omaha, NE.

received an email from service@paypal saying: Chen Zheng sent you a money request with payment request details as follows: Amount requested: $399.99. Note from Chen Zheng: Your payment of $399.99 to TREND MICRO LLC appears to have been unauthorized. If you did not make this transaction contact us @ 888-279-2734, Transaction ID: U-2BD73594V4985544A, Transaction date: January 11, 2023. I decided to log into my Paypal account and did see the request, I then declined the request. After declining it, I called the number and spoke with a female. I told her what happened and she said just declining the request wasn't sufficient as the scammers have all of my information as they hacked my account. Therefore, she told me I needed to go to website: www/anydesk.com and download the information to my computer. I told her that didn't make any sense as Paypal has a direct security department that I can access from my Paypal account and this must be a scam and then she hung. I did report to Paypal and decided to close my account just to be on the safe side of things.

I got a notification from PayPal that stated I had an invoice due of $449.00. I haven't used this app in over 3 months so I initially disregarded it.

Eventually, I did look at the notification and saw there was a number to call in case of possible fraud. I called it and a man, named Carl, answered

and convinced me that someone was tracking and hacking my account. He had me download an app called AnyDesk Remote Desktop, which I

realized later was how he was seeing all I was doing. He had me log into my Navy Federal Account, and then had me create a profile on Wise.com

which required me to validate my driver's license. I got a few emails from that company that stated a canceled transaction of $1775. My bank, Navy

Federal, called me twice during this whole process and that guy named Carl said that it was a scam and not to answer my phone from them. He

also had my submit a payment, to catch the suspected fraudster as he stated, of $499 to my PayPal account as well, no money went through.

PayPal doesn’t use an 808 number. If you call it they will try to record your words like “yes”. I swiped up and called PayPal. They cancelled the request. They are targeting peoples email addresses. Not sure how they got mine.

I received an invoice from PayPal for Google Playrecharge and the cost was $399.99. I called the number on the letter and reached a guy that was going to help me dispute the charges. He had me download an app called Anydesk. I did that and right away I knew it was a scam as that app tells you people can access your emails and even money. I told the guy it was a scam he then denied and I hung up.
