And just HOW do you know this? You make a post that in a court of law would be considered HEARSAY as you have no PROOF of what you are CLAIMING!

I had a charge on my visa/debit card for $230 to PP* CIHIA OE Boise, ID. That's all the info I have. I called my bank immediately. I did not authorize that transaction. The guy from the bank tried looking up the origin of the transaction but couldn't find anything. So we filed a fraudulent claim and shut down my card. I had to get a new card with a different number. Please beware of this.

they used a card that i don't have on pp, so its not about pp. these people got cc #s somewhere else.

This also just happened to me on my debit card. Someone stole my debit card. I know the last time I had it was near BSU on 3/21.

I got a charge at my bank for $169.  Didn't find it as my bank was going through changes and couldn't download quicken so easily at the time.  This is what it looks like:  PP*BEEHIVE LLC DDA PUR PP*BEEHIVE 402-935-2244 AZ~

I am not sure why I have to keep saying this.  File a fraud dispute with the bank.  You have a limited amount of time to do that, usually 60 days from the transaction.

Found an $83 charge on my Visa to an Iron Cafe in NYC with this number attached. Calling Visa right now.

I received a bill on my credit card from this number

Two charges on our Discover card.  One for $240 and the other for $200.  Had a PP in front of the company names, JKNI EDWS and CO LA, then the phone number 402-935-2244. One was for a health practitioner and the other for catering service.  Discover issued us a new number and credited us for the $440.

ERIK CAFE 04029352244, $85.00 taken from wife's debit card April 19.

Got a charge from PP*SA ZO for $248. I think I know what's going on here. So PayPal has a service called "PayPal Here"...it's similar to Square in that it lets people/businesses have a transaction system for pretty low cost. Some smaller businesses use this app and iPad swipers to get your card info when you make a transaction with them. So there ARE legit businesses using this paypal service where the charge will show up as PP*(businessname). Someone earlier in the thread mentioned they had a charge from a coffee shop that had PP in the title. That would be legit. They are using the Paypal Here service for legitimate business transactions.

The problem is, if you get your card info stolen, it appears that people are abusing the PayPal Here service to steal money. I'm guessing card numbers get skimmed and people take the info and make fake cards with your number on them and then swipe them into their PayPal Here app account to charge your card.

Now why every number shows up as 4029352244 is still a question. PayPal's headquarters are located outside of Omaha, NE (area code 402) and I'm guessing that transactions must have a phone number attached to them. So the PayPal Here service attaches this 935-2244 number to every one of their transactions.

Long story short...people are using skimmed numbers and abusing PayPal's small business transaction system "PayPal Here" to steal money from people under fake business names. I try and wiggle CC machines and gas station terminals to make sure there's no skimmer attached, but obviously my info got stolen somewhere. Possibly a restaurant where the card was out of my possession.

04/11/2016 PAYPAL *GEEKDEAL $289.99 (402-935-2244). How are they still getting away with this?

It's not just one person. If you read my post above yours, it says that I *think* that the phone number is attached to ALL Paypal Here transactions. The Paypal Here service is probably easy to exploit with stolen card numbers.

Received Fraudulent charges on my Wells Fargo credit card for $235.  Before this charge I had used my card in San Antonio Texas. The charge was listed as manually entered on PayPal in Illinois. Wells is investigating.

$90 fraudulent charges to debit card while I was sleeping.

CC was charged $300.00 on 4/18/16 that I did not authorize. The charge referenced on my bank statement as a transaction listed as PP*NETWORKSTUL U-402-935-2244. I recently set up a PayPal account and I am pretty positive this is where my card information was obtained. So do not put any CC on file through PayPal. I submitted a dispute through my bank and cancelled my card, yet this goes to show you not to enter personal information online period. This is the second time fraudulent scams were attempted on me. First  time through Craigslist/Ebay and this time PayPal. No more buying anything online for me!! These online scammers are pitiful and need stopped immediately!

I had a charge on my VISA from this as well.  Luckily only $25.08. PP*FAERYTALEBE .  The number answers with Thank you for calling Paypal.  Only thing is, my VISA is not on my paypal account!!!!!

This is ridiculous that Banks haven't applied a charge screening filter for pending transactions....I just got hit for $270 on 5/10 from this  -  PP*HARLEYGEARH 402-935-2244 TX 75068 US  - the fact that ppl have been reporting fraud with the same damn # for two years and banks are STILL posting transactions against this # is stupid and wasteful

I don't know who this is or what it is.  Found a $16.35 charge on debit card today - notified bank

I saw this number and PP*AFFORDABLEB MI on my Chase card statement, finally connected it to the down payment to a moving company. We moved from one city to another nearby on the 24th, 6 days after the $200 downpayment. Maybe they use a payment clearing house or similar?
