Has any of you stagers got an email from them about a payment you made or purchased something using PayPal. I’ve got my second one today! I’ve never used pay pal! Each time I’ve received it I’ve deleted it without touching anything. Somehow they got my email address but not any mailing address, P0 box or street address. SCAM???

We purchased new furniture several months ago from a well respected outlet. Paid cash. Items were delivered. Wife got an email from PayPal saying that our online payment was declined. We never used PayPal in the purchase. Wife contacted PayPal. They told her to enter a specific code so that she could retrieve our transaction. upon doing so by my wife entering that code all my existing online information was transferred to an off source site. All financial inner actions were transferred to that site I have since spent many months, redoing all my financial accounts do to the fact that all my financial information was compromised. it’s been one hell of a headache! to all of you here please be careful. It’s been a nightmare for my family. And after contacting our state fraud division this email was generated from an offshore account in India. Please be careful and read the origins from any email that you may receive.

I would say it is a scam, yes!

I've never had a problem with PayPal, they will never ask for any information from you or send you a email wanting you to put in a code 🥴. It's hard to tell anymore who is who,, best just a low balance credit card to buy on line if you are not sure..

Yes! Scam! I don't have a paypal account and receive info requests frequently. Delete without clicking anything.

Yes! I actually got two emails from PayPal in the last couple weeks about purchases I never made.

I do use PayPal for my online shopping, but I've never received an email like that.
The overseas scammers use reputable company names like Amazon and PayPal to convince you to respond, opening your personal information to theft. Definitely delete ANY suspicious emails or text messages from anyone, and DON'T open them.

It’s coming my friends. Just wait until A.I. takes over the internet. Pandora’s box is about to be opened! Cash will be no longer king.!

Good luck! A simple low balance credit card will never protect you! They have their ways! Just look at what is going on. ATNT just hacked, IRS just hacked. Sutter heath just hacked. Oakland just hacked. Berkeley government just hacked. They have some of the best anti hacking hardware there is! But it’s not working!

Pay Pal is 100% SCAM. Unless you dealt with them it is a scam.

Also keep an eye out for the Amazon Scam where there is an item coming your way. They just want you to verify the address to insure they shipped it to the right location.

I've gotten them and never used PayPal. It's Phishing or a scam. Just delete. I never heard anything back.

I get emails from them and others that I never use. I just delete emails from them. Some of them don’t have information spelled correctly. Trying to scam us.

Scam. I have Pay Pal and never had a problem with them. If you got an account you can sign in and check it out.

When you use them it’s okay. We are getting the emails and we don’t use their services. I use Amazon and I get emails that my account needs to be updated. I just delete them cause I know they are scam.
