Pretended that I had purchased bitcoin with my "inactive" Pay Pal account. Had mocked up a Pay Pal logo and insisted I call only the number 888-396-2388 to send payment. They used my back-up email, not my primary one. I am happy to provide you with a printout of the email, as I have reported it as spam and deleted it.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received an email saying that I ordered McAfee Protection auto paid through PayPal.

I don't have a Pay Pal account, but my deceased husband did years ago.

I called the number on the invoice, the number I provided you, and the person on the other end wanted me to go on my computer, which I refused and he hung up after I told him this was a scam.

I received an email from a personal email acct. - [email protected]

that stated "They" represented PAYPAL and attached an invoice to a pdf file regarding payment to PayPal. . I did NOT open the pdf file attached w/ an invoice because I knew it was a scam. I haven't purchased anything from PayPal & why a personal email was used led me to it being a SCAM!

I accidentally sent my money from PayPal$5 to the wrong person. I was just calling to retrieve it. I couldn't get through to PayPal but there was a24hr. # he said his name Eric #12097 #850-231-8324. He said I had an account w $750.00 in it n he wanted to close the unused account n transfer it to me account. So he hooked me up to remote access to me phone n had me go to all me accounts and have me excuses why they couldn't send it to any of these accounts. Then told me it was a person from China who was using my info. Then said I had to buy some apple card to get there phone numbers off my acct. I yelled at him and said so I have to buy a flipping phone card n give you the numbers to get this money. N he hung up on me. It was just a way to see all my info on my accts. All the accts are at$0. But if they hadn't been. He would have had access to all my money.

I am concerned as to how they got my phone number and what else they may have of mine. I went to PayPal and tried to log in just to see if maybe I had an account in my early years. They did not recognize my email, name or phone number. So they got my phone from somewhere else I’m thinking

Received an email saying someone was trying to compromise PayPal account and asked way today many personal questions and then refused to allow anyone to speak to a supervisor and would hang up when asked. And when I called back they hung up on me again and refused to answer any of my questions or help me. I locked my accounts, but something seems off about this place.

I received an email telling me I am being invoiced on my Pay Pal account for an iPhone 13 Pro, 12 GB Sierra Blue for $699.88, dated 2/5/2024. I have order #, receipt # and transaction ID# if needed. Email message says: Dear Customer, we have noticed an unauthorized transaction from your Pay Pal account. If this transaction was not made by you, please call us to cancel this order. Otherwise your 699.88 will be charged today. Sincerely, Team PayPal

However, I do not have a Pay Pal account so do not know what they can charge. And I did not call for fear it was a ploy to get my personal information.

I received an email from [email protected] giving product information and an order confirmation ID for a $326.69 paid and completed through PayPal. PayPal has no transactions through my account for 180 days. I called the number from the email (866) 441-0375. The man gave his person information as: Jason Williams , Job I.D. JW0657PY, San Jose, 2211 North St., California.

He pronounced San Jose as it is spelled, not properly. He gave me my email address and home address on the PayPal account and said the delivery is in Hawaii. When I told him I did not order the couch and I thought my PayPal account was defunct, he said it was active but he would refund the money and make sure my PayPal account was properly shut down. He had me download Alpemix onto my computer and open my security to he could access my screen. I did. He sent a ScamPulse.com complaint form for me to fill out and file. It was different than this form. He asked for a little personal info and then wanted me to log into my bank account so he could refund the money. He said he needed my computer IP address to do so. I did do it and then I hung up and called PayPal etc. and deleted all of the Alpemix information and apps, including in my system settings.

The responder asked me to go to my computer and search for dmk.info. They asked me once I was in that website to click on something that would lead me to another page. I believe they were trying to get remote access of the computer. I did not visit this website or click on anything. I then told them I was aware they were trying to scam me, and they immediately hung up.

We received an email from PayPal saying there was a payment due of 499.00 for a Springfield armory. We called the number in the email to say we didn’t make that purchase which led to them trying to give us the money back- instead they were taking money from us! Using an app called any desk and using money gram. Awful!!!

I got an email about a "Payment Receipt" stating that I will be charged unless I give them a call. I call and after the 3rd ring, I hang up. The number calls back immediately after I hung up. The man who appeared to sound like he's from India or Pakistan or some sort of middle eastern country. Anyway he tells me that someone has created an account under my name or email. Then he says to hold for a min while he checks something on his system. After a few seconds he comes back on. Then he asked for my name and asked me how to spell it and without thinking I gave him my first and last name. So he then tells me to go to Play Store and download this app called Team Viewer Quick Support. As I go to it I had a bad feeling about and decided not to download it. I also told him that the app wasn't downloading since I didn't have enough storage. He then suggested that I delete some games. I told him that I have alot of pictures and videos and stuff. He tells me that I need to delete some stuff in order to download the app. I then told him that I had to take of something real quick then would call him back. He said that people have my information and that I need to call back right away. He also asked when I would call him back. I told him I wouldn't call back later. Then I asked what time was it there and he said 4:00 there. He also said that they are available 24/7. I said ok and that I would call him back later then I ended the call.
