I got an email form "Lina Hill" who identified herself as a customer service representative from PayPal. I was informed that someone had charged $1,250.00 to my PayPal account. In the attachment to the email, I was advised to call 1 (805) 896.4966, so that I could identify the charge which could then be cancelled. A man with what seemed like a Pakistani or Indian accent asked me to log onto "UltraView" so that I could spot the charge. When I said that I would call the ScamPulse.com and the police in what seemed as a scam, the man said that he can taken control of my PC which would prevent me from ever logging onto it. That is exactly what happened: My PC is unusable.

I called PayPal for a problem with accepting a PayPal payment. I must have not gotten PayPal and I would guess the person (James) did not work for PayPal.

I received some plastic bags I think were vacuum seal from someone named Gichael Lichael in Los Angeles. I didn't take bags out of wrapped package. I have never used vacuum seal bags. I looked on Google and found that the name is a known scammer. They charged my paypal account on June 29 or July 1 which I pay with Discovercard.

Someone is using my email for an account with PayPal. I do not have an account with PayPal. This morning, I received 3 emails from PayPal claiming someone added a new email to the account using my email. I have contacted their customer service, and they would not help me resolve this issue. I don't have an open account with PayPal, so trying to log into something that doesn't exist is impossible. The representative not only wouldn't help me but also hung up on me. I need to know why my email is being used and how do i remove it from PayPal altogether?

The scammer hacked my email and PayPal account. They booked two trips to Europe and Italy via Booking.com. They also were able to hack into my phone and took control of my outgoing calls. When I would attempt to contact PayPal, somehow the phone was routed to a fake PayPal customer service at 844-373-4961. This was also witnessed by a manager at the Bank of America. I assumed under FDIC law my funds would be covered by my banking institution since my listed debit card use via PayPal. In the beginning Bank of America returned funds back to my account. I was recently informed that because I authorized these transactions they will not rule in my favor. I've gone back and forth with PayPal on attempting to retrieve my money with no resolution in sight. I'm still trying to recover the loss and will now need to hire an attorney to prove my innocence with the fraudulent activity.

I made an online purchase through PayPal. I lost $55.00. I received a number of emails regarding the status of the shipment which I assumed was legitimate. These emails came regularly from the time of my order which was at the end of February 2026. Today, I received a notice by text stating that the parcel could not be delivered and to contact the sender. I was suspicious so checked the internet for verification of the sender. This was when I realized that my purchase was probably a scam.

Email from PayPal saying Rocket Clothing Inc made a deposit of $.03 in my PayPal account. Never heard of this company and it sounded suspicious.

Note from Rocket Clothing Inc: quote You received this email because your PayPal account processed a payout by small deposit confirmation. If you authorized it, no action is needed. If not, please contact PayPal Customer Care at +1 (888) 338-0640 immediately to secure your account and request a refund. It was for $.03, I’m not familiar with Rocket Clothing and suspected scam; searched the "customer service" # provided, finding it associated with various scams.

I received a deposit of 0.01 pounds to my PayPal account.

- Alexandria, MN, USA • Mar 12, 2026

The scammer deposited one penny in Philippines money into my paypal account. I was notified by a [email protected] email of suspicious activity. I logged into my paypal account and found the deposit, then disputed it on paypal. Paypal said the charge was authorized. I then contacted Paypal with the phone number (813) 495-5180 in the service@paypal email. They asked to be connected to my computer through an app. This seemed suspicious so I hung up, then deleted their app and shut down my computer. I notified PayPal and they said it was a scam... after they told me the charge was authorized. Unsure if the scammer was able to get into my PayPal account to send the message that the deposit was authorized or if it was actually authorized by PayPal.
