Received email stating that a purchase had been made with my PayPal account. I called the number on the email. The guy told me that I needed to be Infront of my computer so he could verify the information. I told him I was not able to do that. He told me he would call back in a hour. I called PayPal from the number on my statement and verified that it is a scam email. The caller tried calling me back 2 different times at phone number I listed. The phone number on the email is 805-201-2223, used the name Ben Davis.

I received an email from PayPal I thought claiming that I must pay this bill for $545. They threaten to take the payment yesterday. I called the number at the bottom of the page. He had me go to CVS and purchase 3 Target gift cards for $300 each. He claimed that the ScamPulse.com created my account with the $900 so wouldn’t have to use my own money. He asked me to use my Apple Card. My card was charged that $900. I called Apple to tell them what happened. They gave me back the money for now but they have to investigate this so they might take the money back if they don’t get the information they seek

"paypalservice Thanks for your order!"

Didn’t respond or click any links in the email, since that would expose my personal confidential info.

Called customer service of what I thought was PayPal. Rep said my inquiry about fraudulent email money request she could help me with. She asked questions about my linked bank acct and was hard to understand, as she was, I thought, in India. She kept me on phone for at least an hour. Sent me $ amounts to verify my bank acct. She wanted me to sign into my bank acct. She had me download an app giving her access to my phone to help the process. In the end, she had added a linked unfamiliar bank to my acct, and retrieved all my banking info, plus all info on my debit card

She had me enter this email in fields from my phone.

[email protected]

She told me to stay out of my PayPal acct. For 48 hrs. As they worked thru issue.

She said I will call you from this number, 260-268-6376.

She then sent a text from that number to my phone.

I was sent an email with an attached invoice from "Paypal" for just under $1000 with phone number 1 (888) 273-5986 (which I called because I don't have an account with Paypal) and was told it was the phone number to a resort in West Virginia. The email address that supposedly sent this invoice was [email protected].

Receieved an email with an invoice attached that looks to be from PayPal stating "A fraudulent PayPal account transaction was identified.

If you don't want to proceed with this transaction, please contact us at +1(888) 712-3320." I don't have a PayPal account so I know this is not me.

I received an email from Paypal with an invoice indicating I had purchased a micro compact mini from Springfield Armory for $799.99 with invoice #PPP09904863

Invoice had: if you have any questions about this invoice, please contact 1 801 828-3316.

This is not the phone number for Springfield Armory listed on their website. I did call the 801 number listed on the invoice, but hung up immediately when the phone was answered by someone with a foreign accent. This appears to be a phishing scam

Suspicious of a scam. Email said I had made a $1499 purchase from Sky Room. Phone call placed and recording stating "Paypal" and to hold for next representative. The operator inquired my email address and when I asked questions regarding the purchase, especially the ending digits of the card that was on file, the party became short with me and hung up. My return ended with the operator advising I was wasting their time and to not call back.
