Type of a scam Online Purchase

I received an email on 02/16/22 from a "Tracy" (no email address) and again on 02/24/22 from someone claiming to be PayPal, stating my order in the amount of $845.69 was on it's way. The address given for PayPal was 1522 Cohoe Ct., Kenai, Alaska 99611. I checked my PayPal account and did not see a charge so I chalked it up to a scam.

On 03/14/22 I received another email from an email address of "martha" again claiming to be PayPal, stating my order had shipped. It was for the same amount of $845.69 and had the same order number. The difference was it came from a different email with a different mailing address of 2211 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131, and had a different phone number to call of 800-401-3024. However, the address shown for PayPal was the same.

Again, I checked my PayPal account and did not show any activity that matched this.

To go even further, on 02/25/22 I received an email from Marlita Rexa Lestari at [email protected] saying my PayPal account had been charged $749.99 and I was asked to call 800-397-6361 "to report and block this transaction". It was supposedly for the purchase of TCL 50" television.

On 01/27/22 I received two separate emails from different names (MOUSTAFA 420 and HAIDY 443) claiming to be PayPal and that I had authorized a payment of $649.99 for the purchase of a 43" television. I was asked to call 800-449-5908 "to report and block this transaction". They stated I paid the amount to [email protected].

I have checked my PayPal account each time and found no charges.

Scammer claimed charges were being put on my PayPal account. I do not have a PayPal account. They were charging me $720.00 on an invoice generated in Florida. Upon contacting the scammer, I realized that they were not legitimate because they were asking me questions pertaining to this PayPal account that I did not have. When I questioned the scammer with regard to the legitimacy of her business, she immediately hung up.

This person is phishing for information using Paypal they give you a website to put into your computer, and a security so they can hack into your information please do not enter the information. When I called the phone number on the invoice they gave me a website to enter and a security code, when I asked if he could see my computer he hung up the phone I did not enter any info into my computer. This is what the invoice looks like:

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received notice that my PayPal account has been charge for exceeding e-pay usage limit with an amount of $949.99 USD and same will be automatically debited and reflected in account statement within the next 24 hours. The supposed purchase is a Sony 42" Bravia OLED 4 Smart TV.

I do not have a PayPal account and I did not purchase a TV on line. When contacting the phone number listed it was immediately answered. I was told the only way I could cancel the charge was to go to a computer and he would connect me to the BBB. I told him I thought this was a scam and was threatened with money charge to my account if I didn't follow this procedure.

I received an email from what I thought was PayPal. Stated my order was accepted. Number #2301-1827-1646. Thanked me for my order. I don't have a PayPal account. It said I bought $757 from a place called Blockchain Exchange. Gave an invoice and customer number to cancel. Phone number to cancel was 854-203-1307. I thought this was PayPal. Had an ID and purchase number to receive a refund. I called the number. I was on the phone over an hour. A man said he will fix it for free. The ScamPulse.com logo was on the email.

I gave him my email and the name of my bank. I may have given the type of account I have. I did not give an account number. He was hooked on to my cellphone. Told me to go to Play Store and download an App called Desk Top. I downloaded the App. I realized it was a scam when they wanted me to open my account. Somehow I was hacked. I hung up on him. Kept calling me back from different numbers. He threatened to have me arrested for hanging up.

The scammer emailed me telling me that I have fraud on paypal account, and when I called in they informed me that I needed to get multiple gift cards in the amount of 2000 for four gift cards. They informed me that they will deposit the funds back into my checking account. I do not have a paypal account and I was scammed on buying multiple gift cards. He stated his name was Mike Robertson.
