I received a notice on my computer from PayPal. I clicked on the email. First of all I do not have a PayPal account. I questioned it immediately. Someone used my name and ordered $530 worth of coins. They sent me a receipt. Altcoincoin OPF I called PayPal from the phone number on the email 877-598-4756. I could not understand them. He said do what I tell you to do. Go online and fill out this paperwork. I said I am not giving any information. I want this recognized as something illegal. The email mentioned Elyria OH 44035. I do not live in Elyria. The email a also had an order number EB01FAD048. I told the man this sounded strange and I would call the Better Business Bureau. The daughter warns me about scams all the time.

PayPal email said we have a $500 charge. Once we were on the line they said we had 3 charges. He wanted me to download an app called Desktop!!!He started to raise his voice to me when I said I was going to go to Verizon to have them check it over. Then he swore at me when I said I was going to hang up and check this out further!

This company is using a version of the paypal logo, but it is not PayPal. They are trying to get my information on an xBox that I didn't order. They try to draw you in by offering seller protection.

Type of a scam Identity Theft

My Paypal acct was hijacked 2 years ago, after I placed an online order on 7/21/20 for 2 "motorized floats", I received 2 "blow-up" pool floats, for which I paid $144.98. After numerous emails & months of Pure Frustration, I realized the only thing I acquired from that transaction...was a DAMN GOOD LESSON! I tried to close my Paypal acct but could not even log into it to close it, nor could I ever get Any One on the phone to speak to about it...so I just vowed not to use Paypal again.

Then a friend sent $350.00 for Rodeo tickets to me via PP, not knowing I had issues with them, I never could log in to collect that money?

Most recently, today on 9/20/22, I received an "Invoice" in my gmail inbox, seemingly sent from: [email protected] stating "Bitcoin Exchange sent you an invoice for $499.99 USD, Due on receipt, & that I had successfully made a transaction for my Bitcoin (BTC) Using Paypal" ??? There is a phone number listed 888-524-3720 which I called & the scammer on the other end confirmed there were actually (3) charges & he read these to me outloud: (I had no knowledge of the 1st two until he read them?)

9/16/22 - $39.83 for candy

9/16/22 - $439.99 for gift card

9/19/22 - $799.99 for iPhone 11

When he asked me to put him on speaker & go to my apps so I could "connect to his server" so HE could delete those bogus purchases & help me close my acct, I of course laughed into the phone & declined, he kept insisting that this was "the procedure"...after a few, I told him to stick his server where the sun don't shine & disconnected the call.

Now all I want to achieve is to CLOSE MY PAYPAL ACCT but again, there's No Way to do that?! They instruct you to "log in" to deactivate your acct....(but what if your acct has been hacked? how are you supposed to log in?) Ugggggh! I created a "dummy acct" to try to circumvent this ridiculous process, but to no avail. PLEASE HELP if you can!

Thank You,

Kelly O'Reilley

I received an email from Paypal saying we owe $500 US for a Target egift card on 9.8.22. It says please do not reply. If you did not make the transaction to call 888-224-7352. I called and spoke to a man with an accent. I told him we didn't make the purchase. He said I was liable for the purchase. I said it's a scam. He began rambling, so I hung up.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

An invoice was sent to my email, I opened and read the invoice. It said it was from PayPal and that I owed $370 for a purchase to McAfee Security for a home computer. I did not make such a purchase, so I called the 1800 number listed on the invoice. The person there said they would refund the money to me, all I had to do was download an app. I began to start the process, and became nervous once the app told me to allow access to my phone to the people on the other line. I stopped what I was doing and deleted the app and hung up the phone. I called the real PayPal number and forwarded the email to their fraud department. I have changed all of my passwords, but am hoping they did not get any information off of my phone.

I got a FB message. They told me that I got paid through a customer and that the payment was pending. They wanted me to ship the item and give them indication that the shipment was sent, verification of tracking. When I got to the UPS center I asked them to look at it and they said that they had been getting a lot of scams lately. I called paypal immediately--they said it wasn't legit; they could tell it wasn't a transaction through them or an email that they used.
