Viperguy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Has anybody had trouble with their Paypal account being compromised? This is the second time this year that after I used my Paypal account that I get a call from my credit card company that someone has tried to use my credit card assigned to my Paypay account for an unauthorised purchase.

markiii Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 If you made a purchase with a vendor who's system was compromised, your card could be too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Could be from a number of sources. Compromised security on your PC or mobile phone or device you use to access your paypal account giving your password when its changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Did PayPal cancel your current CC and issue you a new card w new account # after the first report? If not then this is a scam. Did this phone call ask you to verify your full CC # and security code? If so this is a phone scam, no CC company will ask those things over the phone. Check your caller ID log and verify the calling # yourself. At the very least you should notify PP directly that your card was stolen and ask them to issue you a new card. .

YES... ME.. I kept getting e mails saying that I had paid $42.99 or $39.99 to such and such company on MY CREDIT CARD but I do not have a credit card; or for that matter a PayPal account.. After getting these e mails which I looked at knew they were false or phising DELETED THEM. There is on PayPal where you can make a complaint about unauthorised money payment... BUT I Chose NOT to do that and deleted the e mails and MY Account. Even when the account WAS DELETED I received another e mail quoting that I had paid for such and such company X amount of money... I would suggest if you still have a PayPal snd are getting these "scam" emails/payments showing on yoyr e mail inbox; Check your PayPal profile yoyr wallet yoyr payment contacts and current or past transactions and certainly KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR account. You can also report to local police as it pertains to trying to defraud you and paypal.. So YES I had that done but I ignore the e mails, DONT ANSWER IT(OTHERWISE THEY GOTCHA YA ) and delete... if you want the long procedural hassle of Paypal dealing and then telling you that you have to oblige payments etc before they can do anything DON'T!! Delete... DELETE... DELETE that email mail or transaction if you did not order or suchlike!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
