I received an email stating a $790 payment was made from PayPal and would be taken out of my acct in 3-4 days. With an auth number and name and phone number to call. So I decide to call this number and it says thank you for calling PayPal a rep gets on the and he's asks for the last 4 of the auth code which I did give it to him he's says oh yeah I can see so what we have to do is get your IP address and download these two apps to stop this transaction. The apps he had me download were anydesk and Revolut I proceed to do what he says and the next thing I know I've entered in bank stuff and social security number and it isn't until the very end of our conversation that he's like ok we are going to deposit $500 for helping us catch these hackers and that’s when it finally hit me I was being hacked. He's trying to reassure me everything is fine I'm like oh no...he hangs up on me I call back several times and they just keep hanging up on me. Immediately withdraw all Chas on any accounts I had and closed all credit and debit cards. I did a factory reset on my phone and updated all apps and accounts with new passwords. I have also contacted the credit bureaus to flag my credit reports.

Consumer received an email from the company on 2/1/2022. Claiming someone tried to use her Paypal account to purchase a gun for $449.00. Asked consumer to add information via c-prompt. Consumer thought that made some sense. Consumer filled in $49.00 to the "business". Business said she entered $4,449.00. He said he was going to give her money back, but never did. Consumer lost $5,000.00. She did the payment through Zelle. Money is gone. Consumer reported it to her bank and wanted to report it to the BBB.

I received an unsolicited email from "PayPal" Help & Support Desk, which contained an invoice from a recent MacBook Pro M1 Max. I checked my account to verify no purchase had been made, then Googled the phone number provided and saw many scam warnings. Other red flags included: an email address that was used came from a Gmail account instead of a PayPal domain; misuse of capitalized words; odd grammar; PayPal was hyphenated and logo was pixelated; and of course, I did not purchase a MacBook Pro!

I received an email from PayPal to confirm a purchase of $500 to ebay that I have not made. I don't have a paypal account either. They listed a phone number as well to call for assistance that I have not called. I looked up an item the other day on ebay and am assuming they got my information from that.

They purposely send your order to the wrong address so you can call and request a refund. They then take over your phone using an app and start cash apping themselves and requesting payment from ppl.

I received an email that said that I owed Paypal $978.00 for several purchases that I had made. The merchant name was Woody Smart, LLC. However, I did not make any recent purchases and have not used Paypal. I called the customer service number on the email to see what this was regarding and the guy on the phone told me I had to make that payment. I started telling my husband who I was talking to and the man on the phone hung up on me.

I received an email from [email protected] saying my Paypal account would be charged $399.00, and to call 1-888-845-1018 to cancel, dispute or concern payment. I called and talked to an Indian man who insisted I log into my computer. I said I don't have a computer. he asked what devise I was using, and whether it was my phpone. He became loud and argumentative. I told him I was calling the BBB. He said that wouldn't work. I said it would and hung up. I lost $1,000 last summer buying a car online with a gift card because the woman said her son had passed.

I received two emails from Paypal saying that I owed on my account for three previous transactions totaling $498.99 (that I did not make). The email seemed legitimate but I noticed that it came from a gmail address. I called one of the numbers on the email, 1-877-788-1312 and spoke with a man named Deve. He gave me his direct number, 402-495-6575, and his employee number, PP230991. He said that I could purchase a Walmart gift card to pay the balance. I told him I did not believe that this was real and hung up the phone. No money was spent and no other personal information was given.

I got a email stating PayPal was confirming my purchase of expensive Apple Mac Mini with Apple M1 Chip (16gm, ram, 256GB SSD Storage) costing $869.93 They were suppose to be refunding my $ back, but it had never been taken out of my account. I had a refund # & the foreigner kept me on the phone for over an hour!

They had me sign into my checking account online banking, they had me put in my debt card #, expiration, & 3 digit # in order to get the refund from western union. I finally hung up turned off my computer & my cell phone. When I turned my phone back on they had attempted to call me 6 times. When I turned the computer back on all seemed well. They also had control of my computer! My gutt says frauld worthless dishonest! I also checked my checking account & nothing unexpected, but I am worried what might show up tomorrow!

I just received what definitely appeared to be, and is definitely. a spam email, claiming that I made a payment through PayPal for $689.99 to [email protected], but if not, then I should call PayPal at (855) 919-5144. Well...looking up that number online, I found the ScamPulse.com profile for HoneyCloud Technologies based in Buena Park, CA with that exact phone number. And this phone number has been reported by folks at 800notes.com since Feb 2016.

HoneyCloud Technologies

5443 Cajon Ave, Buena Park, CA 90621

https://www.honeycloudtechnologies.net

(855) 919-5144

HoneyCloud may not have anything to do with this scam; the 855-919-5144 may be hacked. Or, possibly, they or their employee(s) may have something to do with this.

I did not...and will not...call their phone number regarding this scam email.
