Sent an email telling me that I have purchased a gun using my PayPal and gave me a phone number to call to report fraud and after I called that number the person that helped me wanted me to type in the amount of $70.00 but got mad when I put in the decil with out the decil it would look like $7000.but he was determined that I shouldn't put the decil in. The amount of 7,000 was deposit into my checking account then he wants to correct it. He sent me to the bank to make a withdrawal and then put the money in and ATM the ATM was for Crypto but accepted cash when I checked my account I discovered that 7000 was transferred from one checking account to another I saw no accodentl deposit for Bank of America

Most likely a phishing scam. I have a PayPal account but I never use it. I don't keep money in it, either. So, I never get a statement from them. However, this email was pitched that I had a statement to review. I was suspicious, so I did open it. They said I owed money and could pay it in installments. I closed the email. I cancelled my credit card, too. The email the scammer used was: [email protected]. I tried to enter it in the form for this, but it was not accepted because —surprise!—not a valid email account.

I received an email today and I had to click on a link to read it. It says my Paypal account would be charged $418.72 for bitcoin I ordered on March 20th. It goes on to say I have 24 hours to open a dispute. They want me to call customer support 888-413-7025. I called but the number is not valid.

My mother was called by a Mexican Scammer claiming to be from Paypal. She doesn't use Paypal. The guy was shady because I wouldn't let him talk to her. I called him out when he said he was from Paypal and not to call again! Law enforcement and the feds must be alerted!

I keep getting calls from someone claiming to be from PayPal. He said I bought Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency and in order to cancel the purchase he wanted me to go buy a $400 gift card. He wanted to stay on the line with me while I went to the store so I hung up and he has called me back twice already.

Received an email, stating that i had purchased 850 dollars on PayPal. I do not have PayPal. I am hoping this is not the beginning of identity theft.

I received an email from Paypal stating that the merchant was waiting for payment of $900+ . I do have a Paypal account but have never really used it but twice. Anyhow, I called the number that was on the email and it seemed like they weren't ready to take the call or something and I also got the sense that I was actually calling a home, based on the background noise. Something got my spidey-senses up that made me start questioning him about who he was and demanded to speak with his manager. They are using the Paypal logo and such, and including links and phone numbers that go nowhere near Paypal. Call outside of the email, look up the number and verify that you do indeed owe, or purchased something. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY OR SUPPLY AN INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE. ALWAYS GATHER AN OUTSIDE NUMBER FOR THE COMPANY AND VERIFY TRANSACTIONS.

I received a phone call today from someone claiming to be with PayPal. Told me I received a loan. The man said somebody used my name. He is calling me for the delinquent bill of $789. To dispute charge call 813-799-2007. I called the number back. I said I never took out a loan. I don't use PayPal. He hung up on me two or three times. I said I don't owe $789. I received an email. This is a scam.
