Supposedly tried to use my PayPal account but j don't use it nor would it be attached to my current phone number. There was a secondary number to call. 1-810-202-9429 I called and they asked whether I used my PayPal in a long time. I told them my PayPal account is dead to me and I was going to report them to ensure it's no scam.

I received an email from PayPal. I called their phone number to tell them the amount of $379.00 was fraudulent. They said they would refund my money. So they took control of my bank account through my laptop and was telling me how to get my money back through my laptop but in the meantime they were taking money out of my savings and I was not aware they were doing it.

I received an email from [email protected]. There was an attachment mimicing a PayPal transaction for $530 to purchase bitcoin. The receipt said it was paid by a credit card but I do not have a PayPal credit card.

Received an email from what was believed to be PayPal that there was an attempt from a Mac Store to take money from my PayPal account and if I didn't recognize this transaction, I needed to call or it would be approved. Called the number listed and got a guy named NAME and I needed to call him at Phone Number I did call him at that number and then he said, I have to call you from a different number. He called me back from Phone Number2 that comes up on my caller ID from Santa Maria, CA. He told me that he was going to help me set up 2-step verification on my PayPal account so that hackers could not get the money. He did tell me that I was being hacked by someone in Miami, FL. He had me get on my computer and enter pcs.help3.top (which is an execution file in order for them to get access to your computer). He gave me a code to enter and then he had control of my computer. He had me log into my bank account and my PayPal account, then my screen when blue "Hold on, we' re updating your computer" (or something like that). I saw the mouse on my screen move and I asked him if he had control of my computer to which he responded, "yes, PayPal technical assistance is working on getting your account secured." He then asked me if I had received any messages from my bank and I said no. A few minutes later, I received a call from Fraud Detection. I had my cell phone on speaker and my other phone on speaker so he could hear the whole thing. When Fraud Detection asked if I recognized the first transaction I said no...he said "oh no!" I said was that you attempting to see if it worked? Because he had asked me to verify my credit card number, which I gave him the card information and the cvv. It was after this that he then figured I was on to him by what I had asked (which I really wasn't) and he asked if he could help me with anything else. I asked if I should delete my PayPal app from my phone, he said yes and I should not log into PayPal for 24 hrs in order for everything to take effect. I got off the phone with him and immediately called my bank to keep an eye on my account for any fraudulent charges. They are the ones that suggested that I had been scammed. So I then looked up the correct number for PayPal Customer Service and it did not match the number in the email. When I spoke to them, they had no record of anything that had just transpired. I removed my bank account and debit card from PayPal, changed my password (again) and had to close my bank account and open a new one. They did attempt to withdraw $752. They did also ask me if I had any cryto or bitcoin accounts or other bank accounts that I could log into and I told them no, they were not linked to my PayPal so why would I need to log into them. The whole situation was a HUGE red flag and I never once picked up on it.

The scammer claimed to be from PayPal. Claimed that a purchase of a Norton security system had been purchased in my name on paypal. I called to cancel it. Scammer told me to get gift cards to pay off a "mistake" I made filling out the "refund form".

Received an email from what looked like Paypal, stating "Jasmine Patterson sent you a money request" in the amount of $1299.99, and Note from Jasmine Patterson: Fraud Alert: to report this, call Paypal (805)500-6598. I called the number after checking my bank account and there was a debit for the $1299.99 so I thought the email was legitimate. When speaking to what I thought was a Paypal representative, they told me I had been scammed and that they needed to check my computer remotely. They then put a black screen on my laptop with a lot of technical information and a place to type in an amount. I started typing in the amount above that I thought I had been scammed out of and another amount appeared of $29,999.99! I could hear people yelling in the background and them telling me I entered in the wrong amount and I must remove it immediately! I tried to remove it but nothing happened and then the page disappeared! The man on the phone said that I just took $30,000 from Paypal and that even if it was not intentional that the IRS and Paypal security would get involved and Law enforcement may become involved. The the man said that there may be a way out of the situation if I did exactly as they said, which was to convert $30,000 from my bank account into bitcoin which could not be traced and return the money to them. To make a very long story short, I was scammed into doing what they said. I was supposed to have all the money plus the original amount put back into my account on Saturday and that is when I found out I had been scammed and immediately notified my bank.

I received an email from Paypal asking if a charge of $589.00 from Raymond Gonzalez was authorized. It gave a phone number of 1-855-263-3520 to call paypal and have the charge denied. They told me that it had already been charged to my acct, and I had to let them into my computer to remove the charge from my bank acct. These people were really slick.

Anyway, I gave them access to credit back the $589.00 remove the charge from my checking account. The access was via AnyDesk. They then told me that a computer error had accidentally credited $8000 to me and they would freeze and empty all my bank accounts if I did not pay them back. I found out later that they had moved money from my money market acct into my checking in the amount of $8000.00 and it showed as an $8000.00 deposit.

They had my acct info from Redwood Credit Union(my bank) on my computer screen. They were in my bank accounts. It was real and they did move money around in my on the Redwood Credit Union website.They said they could not fix the error on their end.

I still was talking to "paypal". I am stupid.

The phone number they called me from is 609-736-8603.

I am so stupid...I followed their instructions and bought Walmart cards (4 cards at $500. each) which I gave them the #'s to. My bank advises that the cards were promptly cashed and I could not stop payment. Since I bought the cards, I could not stop payment. No dispute was possible. I am so stupid. I caught on then and hung up on him and called my bank.

I got the email from Paypal that I had paid Five Hundred Twenty nine dollars and forty eight cents for Bitcoin. I called the toll free number and said that I do not have a Paypal account and that I have never considered buying bitcoin. The person on the phone was obviously in a large phone center as I heard many phone conversations going on in the background. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told to hold the line, but never was able to do that. I said that I was going to report this to the BBB. The address on the email was 2211 N. First St. San Jose, C A.
