888-266-0470

Got an email from “PayPal” that I had made a $289 transaction. There was a phone number at the bottom that said to call for question. I looked up the actual PayPal number, called them, and they said I made no transactions and the email was not from them. I called the number in the email and they introduced as PayPal. When I asked if they were really PayPal he said “Yes this is why are you calling” I explained that he was lying and how I knew, and he told me not to call the number again.

Same just received same email

Got an email from PayPal that said I made a $289.00 transaction...I  never opened a PayPall account...My experience was the same as above except I called the phone number that was in the email...Could not understand the person on the other end...When I asked where they were located, they hung up on me...

Same as above.  I checked my PayPal activities to see if, indeed, an authorization to pay $289 for a VPN account had been posted.  It hasn't as of this posting.  I left a voicemail at 1-888-266-0470 as indicated in their email seeking information and help.  Have not heard from anyone.  Waiting for PayPal to answer my inquiries.  The people that sent the e-mail to me make an attempt to make you think the message was from PayPal.

Received an email claiming to be from PayPal that I had ordered a yearly subscription to McAfee in the amount of $289.  Never happened.  Curious that all these various PayPal scams are using the same $289 charge.  I forwarded a copy of the email to spoof@paypal.com.

I received the same email from "PayPal". I called the number and was very skeptical. He was very convincing, but when I asked the obviously Middle Eastern "gentleman" his name before I hung up, he said his name was Kenny Williams. It was a dead give-away.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM - THEY ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!

Received the same email.   When called they said they were pay pal and wanted to know the bank I use.     When I asked what bank they see being used they hung up.

I just had the exact same thing happen!  Mine was for $249!

I received the same E-mail saying they were Palpay and I was also had a order number , order date and product amount of $289. They also wanted to know the name of my bank. It’s a scam

Same, but the managed to scam an actual 700 from my account, said they notified my bank.  I got a call id from my banks' number, boom soon as I answered it was after 7, but I did not think anything of it until I tried to call the same bank number, off and got the banks automatic system saying 7am to 7pm

same as above except i kind of figured it was not right when i heard the accent of the person who answered the phone.  was asked for my name and i gave them a fake name, was asked for my email address and yep gave them a fake one of those too, then was asked what my bank was and i told them some random bank that i havent banked with in about 10 years.  so with not a correct name, a fake email and not the correct bank i doubt there is anything they can actually do.  They said they would call me back with further directions and at that time i let them know that the number i called was not paypals number according to paypal and then i hung up.

I received same thing as above. Do I need to notify my bank? Or contact the actual PayPal? Or forward the email to someone? Please advise me how to proceed.

I also RECEIVED THIS same E-mail.  Gave me order NUMBER, order date and Charge of $289.00 for a "GHOST-VPN Protection" ACCOUNT.  It's a SCAM. It's NOT Pay Pal. SCAMMERS are doing this with AMAZON Accounts as well. Do not call the number given, Do Not click on any links.  REPORT AS SCAM!!!!

Got an email  for supposedly a $948.64 watch from PayPal. I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago so figured it is a scam....again. Last time it said for a credit card that is opposite of mine.Called the number and the nicest lady was guiding me along and then she was asking questions that if it was true they wouldn't be asking.Told her would call her back.......called the bank..... SCAM . Be careful
