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

(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.

I knew this email wasn't legit but called their support number anyway. They tried very hard to convince me to download software from ***********, so they could do the refund online and cause me less grief. They claimed they were legitimate PayPal employees and even transferred me to their "Manager" for proof. The following is a copy and paste of the email and information. From their accents I would say that they were from overseas, like Pakistan or India. I was polite and as helpful as they needed me to be, but when I began questioning them about downloading the software they hung up. here is the copy

Total money lost $67.45
Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

PayPal is aiding and abetting a Chinese company named Yaotips. The company uses only PayPal as a form of payment because of their policy of returning wrong item at buyers expense for a refund. The scamming company Yaotips, advertises a product, Trashbin, which I purchase on line thru PayPal. The company sends paper masks worth about $3.00 instead of $67.41 which was paid. I notify PayPal that I did not receive the item even though USPS states that I did receive the item.

PayPal notifies Yaotip and Yaotip sends tracking number as delivered. What they don’t say is that they did not deliver the correct item. PayPal closes case in favor of the scammer.
