I received an email telling me I am being invoiced on my Pay Pal account for an iPhone 13 Pro, 12 GB Sierra Blue for $699.88, dated 2/5/2024. I have order #, receipt # and transaction ID# if needed. Email message says: Dear Customer, we have noticed an unauthorized transaction from your Pay Pal account. If this transaction was not made by you, please call us to cancel this order. Otherwise your 699.88 will be charged today. Sincerely, Team PayPal

However, I do not have a Pay Pal account so do not know what they can charge. And I did not call for fear it was a ploy to get my personal information.

Type of a scam Phishing

I received an email from [email protected] giving product information and an order confirmation ID for a $326.69 paid and completed through PayPal. PayPal has no transactions through my account for 180 days. I called the number from the email (866) 441-0375. The man gave his person information as: Jason Williams , Job I.D. JW0657PY, San Jose, 2211 North St., California.

He pronounced San Jose as it is spelled, not properly. He gave me my email address and home address on the PayPal account and said the delivery is in Hawaii. When I told him I did not order the couch and I thought my PayPal account was defunct, he said it was active but he would refund the money and make sure my PayPal account was properly shut down. He had me download Alpemix onto my computer and open my security to he could access my screen. I did. He sent a ScamPulse.com complaint form for me to fill out and file. It was different than this form. He asked for a little personal info and then wanted me to log into my bank account so he could refund the money. He said he needed my computer IP address to do so. I did do it and then I hung up and called PayPal etc. and deleted all of the Alpemix information and apps, including in my system settings.

I received an email with the following attachment. I was immediately aware this was a scam. I called the number to figure out how they were attempting to steal money or information. The responder asked me to go to my computer and search for dmk.info. They asked me once I was in that website to click on something that would lead me to another page. I believe they were trying to get remote access of the computer. I did not visit this website or click on anything. I then told them I was aware they were trying to scam me, and they immediately hung up.

We received an email from PayPal saying there was a payment due of 499.00 for a Springfield armory. We called the number in the email to say we didn’t make that purchase which led to them trying to give us the money back- instead they were taking money from us! Using an app called any desk and using money gram. Awful!!!

I got an email about a "Payment Receipt" stating that I will be charged unless I give them a call. I call and after the 3rd ring, I hang up. The number calls back immediately after I hung up. The man who appeared to sound like he's from India or Pakistan or some sort of middle eastern country. Anyway he tells me that someone has created an account under my name or email. Then he says to hold for a min while he checks something on his system. After a few seconds he comes back on. Then he asked for my name and asked me how to spell it and without thinking I gave him my first and last name. So he then tells me to go to Play Store and download this app called Team Viewer Quick Support. As I go to it I had a bad feeling about and decided not to download it. I also told him that the app wasn't downloading since I didn't have enough storage. He then suggested that I delete some games. I told him that I have alot of pictures and videos and stuff. He tells me that I need to delete some stuff in order to download the app. I then told him that I had to take of something real quick then would call him back. He said that people have my information and that I need to call back right away. He also asked when I would call him back. I told him I wouldn't call back later. Then I asked what time was it there and he said 4:00 there. He also said that they are available 24/7. I said ok and that I would call him back later then I ended the call.

I just received an email on PayPal letterhead that claims I had unusual activity and that PayPal is confirming my order of an iPhone X in the amount of $499.00 that will be charged in the next 24 hours if I don't contact the phone number above to dispute. It states that my checking account will be debited. First, I don't use PayPal and secondly, I would not order an iphone x when I have a business account with Apple and have an iphone 13. BE CAREFUL and DO NOT respond.

Pay Pal Phishing

I received an email from "paypal" with an invoice for 2 purchases made. I logged into my paypal account on my laptop. There sat at the two unfamiliar charges. The phone number associated with the charges were 509 383 4049 and 509 392 4477. Because I was logged into my pay pal account, I felt like it was legit. Obviously was not. During the call, things started sounding questionable so did a quick search on the phone number which is how I found out it was a scam. Lesson learned. Thankfully, no money was lost and I immediately forwarded the email to Pay Pal. They removed the transactions. I reset ALL my passwords for every account I could think of associated with that compromised email account. I also blocked the email and phone numbers associated with this scam.

I called this number (18882211161) because I did a quick Google search for contact PayPal for PayPal customer service as I was having trouble with my account, and it was the first number I clicked on (didn’t think much of it). The person on the phone tricked me into downloading different apps, like a broadcasting app and the crypto app. I felt super uneasy, but he continually reassured me. He was basically watching my screen as I was accessing confidential financial information. He also tried to trick me into transferring all of my money in my bank account to Bitcoin. Luckily the transactions failed because of bad service. He also texted me from another number telling me to call my bank and have them authorize the crypto orders, but the bank said there was no failed attempts. He tried to convince me to not mention PayPal because it would take up precious time. I have screenshots of texts messages for proof. It wasn’t until my husband intervened that we concluded it was a scam and immediately disconnected.

Overall, this experience has left me feeling extremely violated. I don’t know what information he might’ve collected from me as he watched my screen. I changed my password and check my bank balance daily.

Please do something about this. It’s extremely disturbing and I don’t want it to happen to anyone else.

I found a paypal phone number 408 708 2189 called today at 4:30pm 07/24and i did not know the person who answered the call was an impostor paypal representative. I was trying to call paypal in regards to hold money on my account. They asked me to download alldesk app and started to walk me through on my iphone. They were telling me codes which actually i found this codes is the amount they were taking out of my bank account. They took $750.50 and $550.50 from Chase Bank and $249 from Wells Fargo. They used my Zelle to transfer money to Chantelle Gladden and Rorddrick L. account, After they took the money the phone was no longer in service. I sent email to FBI and police station to file case.
