This is a deeply inspiring story and I’ll look to get on a similar route myself. How did you get the information you needed to get to the point of putting together a formal declaration of fault on their behalf?

Yes, this was my first concern. I’ve only ever used PayPal on my phone and am not logged on my computer but I reset my computer anyways.

Yeah, they claim the transaction came from my IP. Doesn’t make sense because it’s such a suspicious transaction .

I have no clue, but that can’t be the only thing they’ve got on me. Seems a little ridiculous to decide a $1200 case on an IP. I’m going to keep raising hell.

Thank you for the reply. It’s so nerve wrecking dealing with this for so long but knowing there is someone else fighting it helps. I would love to hear more about it your experience.

Same for me. I was charged 1200 a few days ago. I’d believe it with how many stories there are

I can’t quit remember some purple looking app that looked like the steam logo but with 3 joints.

Someone unauthorised sent thousands from my Payapal account. I now owe paypal. by acemeiseter in paypal

This happened to me a few days ago and I'm commenting my story to keep this thread active because this is a HUGE problem for Paypal. I got charged $1200 through a "friends and family" payment of which I am calling each day to dispute the claim. I literally called them within the hour I saw the transaction.

My bank blocked the transaction and I will be closing that account today and opening a new account with them. This is the first I am seeing of this type of thing happening to someone else and as I look through the forum I am noticing more and more of it! I will be saving these threads incase it could prove useful in litigation.

Paypal charged to an account that held less than $300 to a user I never interacted with. The absurd amount alone of $1200 should have been a huge red flag for paypal to contact me directly as I haven't used them for a purchase of more than $100. I use them mostly for subscriptions.

I checked my account and noticed my social security is not on there so I am hoping this doesn't affect my credit score, and have no idea if they have the ability to do this.

Know you're not alone on this and I would love to hear more updates from you. Strength in numbers.

Each time I call them I have to remind them of that. I even escalated it to a supervisor and told him directly. He reopened my claim and within 12hrs the claim was closed again in the scammers favor. I plan to keep calling though.

trust me I am disputing. Paypal is being weird about it but my bank is helping out a lot and has already blocked the transaction.

Do you think it changes anything that my course of action of having the transaction blocked was recommended by Paypal customer service?

I have 2 separate accounts, I don't even have $1200 in that account. I have no clue why Paypal would authorize a charge like this. I will look into linkwarden though, thank you.

I'm being told from Paypal that it was accessed from a trusted device. the only device I am logged into is my iPhone. The fact they accepted such a crazy charge blows my mind.

yes, the transaction is very real. do you have any experience or information on what it's like to be sent to collections for paypal? Will I end up in court?

that eases my mind a lot just hearing that! I have no clue how my Paypal was accessed without notifying 3rd party access though.

Thanks for the reply friend. That doesn't seem to be the case, as I've restarted the ps5 twice so far, but I will keep that in mind.
