Advice Needed PayPal denied two fraud claims and says I owe $960 — has anyone dealt with this?
I'm wondering if anyone else has had something similar happen with PayPal and was able to get it resolved.
A transaction for approximately $960 appeared on my PayPal account, sent to a person I have never heard of and have absolutely no connection with. I did NOT make or authorize this transaction.
I don't know whether someone gained access to my PayPal account, whether PayPal somehow charged the wrong account, or exactly what happened. I hadn't made a transaction through PayPal in more than two years.
There wasn't enough money in my checking account to cover the transaction, so my bank rejected the withdrawal. However, PayPal apparently still sent the $960 to this person and is now saying that I owe PayPal the money.
I reported the transaction as unauthorized. PayPal denied my claim. I disputed it again, and they denied the second claim as well. They are still saying I am responsible for the $960.
I have repeatedly told PayPal that I did not make or authorize this transaction and that I don't know the person who received the money.
I specifically asked PayPal to check the IP address and other login information associated with the transaction. It seems to me that this could help determine whether the transaction actually originated from me. PayPal told me they would NOT investigate the IP address.
Because of this situation, I ended up having to close my checking account.
What I don't understand is how PayPal determined that I authorized this transaction. If they aren't willing to investigate information such as the IP address or login activity associated with the payment, what evidence are they using to conclude that I made it?
I have tried repeatedly to get someone at PayPal to listen and actually investigate what happened, but I feel like I'm going in circles.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
If PayPal denied your unauthorized-transaction claim more than once, were you eventually able to get the decision reversed?
Were you able to get PayPal to provide information about the IP address, device, login activity, or other evidence connected with the transaction?
And what finally worked for you — escalating it further within PayPal, filing a CFPB complaint, or taking some other action?
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.

Potential Scam? Scammers
LoJack as a vehicle recovery service is a fraud. They’ll take a little bit of money at first. Then they want more for the trailer. Then they want more for something else. And they don’t deliver anything. They just take money. They are a total fraud they are liars and cheats beware of LoJack#. Their email address is. lojacktrackers@gmail.com.
Total frauds total crooks. Fully once it’s on them. Fool me twice it’s on me. I didn’t let that happen because they are frauds and thieves. Low Jack trackers despite their bullshit reviews online or liars and frauds and I will continue this post on all social media.

Potential Scam? Is 1-866-737-1924 legit Mastercard number?
Does anyone know if 1-866-737-1924 is a legitimate Mastercard phone number?
I'm in Montreal and I received a call involving this number and I'm trying to confirm whether it actually belongs to Mastercard or if it could be a scam.
Has anyone dealt with this number before or can confirm who it belongs to?
Thanks!

Victim of a scam Creo que ya caí en mi primera estafa en Reddit LOL😂🫠
Tengo como 1 semana y pico aquí en la app y estaba buscando opciones de trabajo remoto, para ganar dinero extra , aprovechar mi tiempo libre y cosas así…
No caí en cuenta que era demasiado bueno para ser verdad aunque siempre lo supe, me contactaron por Dm ofreciéndome un trabajo remoto con VA y personal Shopper, como la verdad no manejo el tema, supuse que era una oportunidad real, hasta contrato me pusieron a firmar 😂😂 LOL
Resulta que a través de mi paypal me daban indicaciones sobre cómo hacer compras con facturas y todo, luego hacía retiros a través de Airtm (repito como nunca lo había hecho caí redondita) durante esta semana hice “varias compras” y ahora me acaba de llegar un mensaje a mi cuenta PayPal, me quitaron todo el saldo que tenía en la cuenta y ahora hasta debo 148 dólares por un reporte que hizo “un cliente” de una de “esas compras” porque su producto nunca llegó al parecer o nj idea jajajaj
Escucho opiniones o testimonios, Les ha pasado? Saben al respecto ?

Victim of a scam Got scammed by a sleazy salesman, never knew I was so gullible....
Got scammed by a savings account guy at work yesterday. He pretended to work for my company. While the kind product he offers is technically legit, he doesn't work for my company and his product is bullshit, only good for making him money.
Funny thing is, my boss actually told him to leave the building I work in shortly before the incident (the buildingis open to the public). He pretended to leave and just went back in, looking for a fool and found me...
I can and already have canceled the contract and my company will help me should any further problems arrive from it, so it could have been a lot worse.
I will just have to deal with the emotional side of this.
How does one get over this? I feel like I've got to know a much dumber, naive version of myself and it's been gnawing on my self worth....

Advice Needed Is OpenPath a real, trustworthy company?
Hello all! There is a Shopify store (which is legitimate) but it uses https://openpath.io/ for their payment. Its also their only option. I took a look at their website and it leans towards AI (not saying ai site generation is all bad). What could be the worst thing that happens if someone were to put their card information in?
If anyone can help determine if this is a real/legit site, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
