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!

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.

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.
