i got this email today and i dont even have a paypal with my email account took like 4 calls to get someone who said that i was a target of a scam probably
Bad, Bad advice. Never, ever, give anyone access to your computer for ANY reason whatsoever. It is impossible to absolutely and accurately identify the person requesting access. ABC....you ought to be ashamed of yourself for giving very bad advice.
What I don't understand is why ANYBODY would use PAYPAL FOR ANYTHING! I remember inquiring about it because something I was buying wanted me to use paypal. Well paypal wanted me to PAY THEM a monthly fee for the privilege of USING them to make a payment. Nope, not gonna happen!
I'm so grateful to see you exposing these scammers, *Exelasupport* As someone from Iran, I know firsthand how damaging their actions can be. Thank you for shedding light on these issues and working to make the world a safer place. We need more people like you!"
I almost fell for this but the guy that answered had that accent u know I'm talking about and he straight up told me to give him the invoice number before I told him why I was calling
This is my 2nd scam where I got an email saying my account would be debited in 24 hours. Knowing it was a scam, in my best hood-rat, loud and gutteral, ghetto voice, I cussed the rep out, their parents for having them and their children's children! Each time, they hang up, I call back and resume the cussing until I get a dial tone meaning they've blocked me! It feels good!
Almost happened to me. I called up the PayPal number listed on my email and the guy has an Indian or middle eastern accent and told me to fill out a refund - cancellation of transaction form....to me that doesn't sound right and I hung up. The googled for the PayPal real phone number and asked there were no transactions at all. Yeah ...not the same phone number.
I get those fake emails all the time. I know it's a scam because I didn't buy anything so I shouldn't get a refund.
I just got this email today and I haven’t even used PayPal in years. I knew something was definitely wrong so thank god I didn’t fall for it.
Same for me
Same!! I just got one and I was like wait i don't even have any cards or money in it so I felt fishy
I've had two in the last month. I immediately deleted them!

Not really understanding how anybody could fall for something this ridiculous. Paypal is never going to handle any sort of discrepancy like that.
It's always somebody else fault. Nobody take responsibility any more for their own screw-ups.

Well PayPal is secure and has buyer protection and refunds you if you get scammed, unlike Cash App does not

I can't believe how gullible people are today. I get various type of scam emails all the time. I simply put them into my junk box.
Totally his fault, how do u fall for that?
It's the refund scam , very well known on TH-cam .
Although I had 0 dollars on my PayPal account they said 70 inch tv was purchased in my name. B.S.
That’s what’s happening to me 😅
I’m taking them to small claims for $145
This is the new Nigerian Prince scam. 😂 😂😂😂
paypal dosnt send email or call you or send snail mail. if you lost money from your paypal youre at fault
No offense this guy was a fool for falling for this. Thats real bad. My 98 yr old gma recognizes scams. What the heck was he thinking.
NEWSFLASH! NEVER give anyone remote access to your computer for any reason.
I always block, report, and delete the email
Come on . Everything's a scam
PayPal does worse to me than the scammers do😮
