I received a call from a debt collector saying I owe $3000.00 to pay pal. I called paypal they couldn’t tell me if the account number has been used before because it was closed. I can’t get into the account because I don’t have the password. Someone please call me ASAP 305-509-0208

Googled to get PayPal. Dialed number provided. She claimed to see pending charges to China from my PayPal account. She knew the last four of other payment methods listed. Claimed that those methods would be used to fulfill my pending charges. She needed me to give her my credit card numbers so she could help me. This is after I put any desk on both phone and desktop so she could help me. When I refused the credit card info, she became irritated. Ending the call, prompted her to take control of my desktop. My grandson began deleting and trashing the anydesk authorization.

Individual by the name of Linda Harmon expressed interest in a wedding dress that I posted for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Buyer stated that she would like to go through PayPal to facilitate the transaction. "PayPal" emailed me with next steps. I was told that Linda is a valued and reputable customer. I was asked to send proof that the dress was shipped in order to update my account. After sending confirmation that the dress was shipped, payment was never received. I was told that I needed to upgrade my account to a business account. Do do so, Linda would need to send me $760 and I would have to send the amount back immediately via Zelle. "PayPal confirmed that they had received payment from Linda. As soon as I reimbursed her the funds would be available in my account within 6-12 hours. To make the long story short I ended up sending $1860 to Linda Harmon along with a wedding dress. I also paid $87 to ship the dress to Linda via UPS. During the entire process I was trying to contact PayPal directly but my calls were never returned and every time I attempted to call I was on the phone for hours each time. Until this day, I have yet to get a hold of PayPal even though several emails were sent.

link takes you to fake site, asking for credit card and banking information. Also asks for SSN, mother maiden name, date of birth, basically everything they need for identity theft.

I received a text message from Paypal that someone was trying to withdraw $799.98 from my account. I call the number that was given and talked to someone for hours. They gave me instructions on what to do. These instructions were used to transfer money out of my Cashapp and Paypal to be forwarded to Remitly. Lina *** was the name they gave me but this is a huge scam.

Paypal contacted me i spent 6 hours trying to reach them they wanted to link up to my bank account and I wouldn't. I was going to mail in a chack and a friend said it sounded fishy. They won't delete my card and keep emailing for money.

I received an email that posed as a PayPal message. I clicked the link and entered my personal info, including my social security number, debit card number. It appeared to be a real email. It wasn’t until I submitted the information that I realized it was a scam. The web address changed to a random website. I closed it and tried to go back in and it directs you to a Facebook video.

PayPal which is supposed to be trustworthy stated I had a negative balance and charged me an extra $408 On a $60 purchase. After four dozen emails ans phone calls I finally get a representative that blamed my bank and said it was an old charge. They went as far as saying they received a letter from my bank to charge me. I called my bank who said that was absolutely not true and that my account is fine. That PayPal is not allowed to be charging me any additional funds. They are fraudulent and acting in an illegal manner. I fear that others may not spend 5e time that I did to get to that bottom of this ans just accept a negative balance. That does not happen to your PayPal account If linked to your credit card. This is frightening and scary!

Email described a purchase that was not made by me, and was going to be charged to my Paypal account. A phone number was given to call in case I had questions. I checked my Paypal account and saw no such transaction. I think that they would quiz me, phishing for information, should I call the number they gave.

I was selling an item to a customer who lives in AZ. Their payment choice was PayPal. I don’t know nothing about PayPal nor do I use it but I’ve been emailing PayPal to see when I was going to get my money. It was only $300. Then they would ask me personal information. They email me saying I need to come up with a certain amount to refund back to customer. the amount would keep increasing so I would give them money so they could credit my account. Then they would ask me to pay $1300 because THEY withdrew it from the customer's account and put that on me. I have tons of emails and the customer and I would communicate back and forth on Facebook Messenger. I have ALL the emails and the Facebook messages as well for proof the email address would say [email protected] but then right underneath it would say [email protected]. THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. They have my passport information

This contact phone number 1-844-420-0067 was put on a PayPal corporate headquarters internet page. When the number was called he portrayed himself to be a manager in the PayPal accounts department. He said his name was Aaron. He tried to convince me that my funds were being held by the IRS and told me I needed to pay 10% of the money on the account for taxes. He then said that there was a different number I needed to call back at to make the payment that number is 1-844-970-2888 the extension: 7200
