PayPal Scams - Payment Pending for Shipment Tracking

  • I have seen this PayPal scam come up a lot lately in PayPal community forums. Don't get caught up in this one!
    When somebody tells you that they have sent you a payment through PayPal, make sure to check your PayPal account activity log to verify that you do indeed see the transaction there.
    Even if it's pending you WILL see the transaction show up here. Fraudsters are counting on the fact that you will think it's pending, and that's why it's not showing up. This is not true!
    Always check your PayPal account directly to verify the payment, and if you are required to take any action for this payment to clear, you will see information about it within the transaction details inside the PayPal account.
    If you do not see a transaction in your activity log then no payment was made. Don't ship your product!

      If the real PayPal website email you then the icon appear will be the original PayPal logo ( white and blue with PayPal Word ) it is the logo that you always see on the their website, plus the transaction in the activity section should be there no matter what, even if the transaction is still pending,
      If no transaction is there then that's a scammer

      @@xEndless_Gaming You can report to PayPal here: www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/security/report-problem
      Honestly, though, there isn't much they can do, and it will be tough for you to do more as well. You could try to file a police a report, but you may need to do this with your local dept, the dept. where the goods are being delivered, or both.
      If you do want to go ahead and file a report with the dept where it's being shipped, they may be able to work with you so they can wait at the delivery address where you tell the person you have shipped the item. It can be difficult to get that kind of cooperation, though.
      The best thing we can do is continue to educate others about these types of scams, be it with PayPal or anything else online. Unfortunately, there are many.

    Ok so, I was trying to sell my product which is worth around 400 dollars. Me and this seller were talking and had no further issues going on until he mention about sending the money. So I checked my email and see that 400USD has made and will take a moment. So like 5 mins later I get another email saying “PENDING” and that my funds will only go thru once I deliver the packaged with a proof of receipt or tracking number. I knew in my head that everything about the email was fishy asf and so I had to dig in and found out what was really going on because I never received any payments on my PayPal or gotten a notification about me getting 400 dollars. After watching this video, he explained what just happened to me and the seller for the past 4 hours talking about the product. I’m actually glad that I watch this video because I would’ve gotten scammed big time. I would’ve lost at least 400 dollars worth of stuff.

    I received payment and it is marked as pending on my PayPal activity log. I then received an email saying that I had to email the tracking to PayPal's verification center of which the email link was in said email. It seemed legit so I entered the tracking information and soon after received another email saying that the verification process can take 24-48 hours. After watching this video I feel like I may have been scammed but I'm not sure, especially since the package was delivered and still, the funds are pending on my activity page.
    Edit: I definitely got scammed. The transaction ID on PayPal did not match the one in the email. Such a simple detail I overlooked...

    • @angelleye
      @angelleye  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you see a payment in your actual PayPal account activity log, then at least a payment was indeed made to your account. Buyers and sellers get different transaction IDs for the same payment, so depending on what email you're looking at it could be expected that the transaction ID did not match.
      When you log into your PayPal account, view your activity log to find this transaction, and then click into the transaction details, do you see the tracking number entered there with a link to track the status? Also, is the transaction covered by Seller Protection, and did you ship to the exact address displayed in the transaction details?
      If you followed all of these steps then you should still be okay. Just need to wait for PayPal's system to see that it's been delivered and that no dispute has occurred, and then they will release the funds. Exactly how long this will take can be different depending on variables involved in the transaction.
      Hopefully you'll still be okay here. Let us know how it turns out.

    So this actually happened to me last night. Had this person asking me to send a money request though PayPal. Didn't think anything of it until I asked him if he could do it over eBay instead then he came up with some bs story that he couldn't do so even though his eBay account had good feedback (and I'm sure that's fake). Checked my PayPal to see any transaction was ever made, he insisted he would only release it til I can confirm that my laptop was sent. At that point, I knew this guy can't be the real deal and had a gut instinct that he was gonna con me out of my laptop. This video confirms it. Thank God I didn't ship the laptop. Ive blocked his eBay, changed my eBay and PayPal passwords and changed as much personal info as I could. Many thanks, though I'm hoping I don't get any nasty surprises in future

    What if they donate money to you? Like when you’re streaming a video game and they send you money same thing? Or

    • @angelleye

      The money will come to your PayPal account, and then you could spend it from there directly or move it to a bank / debit card.

    This video saved my iPhone 11!!! Wasn’t sure about selling to someone over Facebook who wanted to use PayPal. They were way to eager to spend £650 on a phone and seemed fishy and way way too pushy. Was great after watching this and calling them out on it. I was blocked and they were reported!!
