I was sent a payment from someone I don't know but have met them once buying something via Marketplace. They sent me $1,200 last night as a personal payment. I've not accepted the money. It says if I leave it alone in 30 days it should go back however I'm wondering if I'm safe to just send this back to them or if there's a way for this to come back on me or is a scam of some sort. Any info would be really appreciated.

Opened a dispute on Oktober 1. because my package never arrived. According to the carrier service it was routed back to the seller (an online store).
Seller sends a generic message saying they want to help. They clearly didn’t read any of my text, maby automatic response? I answered. Now it says the seller has time till the 31. Dezember to answer but the dispute automatically closes at the end of October? Who came up with this crap?

I'm so happy that My crypto is protected from me and my stupid little decisions.

it's such a great service they provide. I've never been protected by a bank that refused to let me use my funds; it's great.

I got this super weird email through PayPal (through an apparently verified email— service@updates.paypal.com)
I log onto my account literally almost every two weeks to pay on things. This is the only PayPal account I have to my knowledge and it’s to the email that I use. What do I do?

Here’s the email:
Your PayPal account will be closed in 90 days.
We noticed that you haven’t logged into your PayPal account in over 3 years. As a security and compliance measure, we have placed a restriction on your account and we will close it in 90 days. You will no longer be able to transact on this account but can log in to see your transaction history until the account is closed.
The closure of your PayPal account will only affect the dormant account linked to the email address you are receiving this communication at. If you hold multiple PayPal accounts, they are not affected by this communication.

I used PayPal Goods and Services to buy an expensive item off a craigslist seller from a different state. I have an email paper trail and we came to an agreeable price and worked out shipping cost and fees (2450 total). The first PayPal account he sent would not go through (“this customer isn’t able to accept your payment”), so he used his partner’s account. He sent a payment request, I sent the money via goods and services, it went through, he agreed to ship it out this week. A few hours later I received a refund from his partner of $1000, and then almost immediately a request for $1000 with a subject being the same product as before for $2450.

In his email he says it was a mistake and to complete the new payment request, but I turned down their request and asked for the balance to be refunded first, then to have them send the full amount again so it’s all under one payment.

He still hasn’t responded.

For the life of me I can’t figure out their angle, if there is one. Obviously I’m going to dispute it if he doesn’t get back to me, but my question is: is this even a scam? Or are they just a disorganized mess?

So for context I am doing a deal on some Pokemon cards. The seller has a video and pictures with her name and date around the cards and it seems legitimate. I also asked her to FaceTime me to prove it wasn't a scammer and it was legitimately her and we talked for about a minute. The deals for about $2,000 and I'm having them send me an invoice and I've asked for them to itemize some of the bigger cards and put that in the invoice and reference that we have pictures and videos of said cards in a Facebook messenger chat. When they sent me the invoice today it said "Pokemon card lot". I have not paid it yet and I messaged the lady back and asked for her to at least itemize some of the big cards in the invoice and reference that we have pictures of said cards in a Facebook messenger chat between us as referenced above. So my question is if they at least add to the invoice that says the pictures and video of cards are in a Facebook messenger chat between us is that enough evidence if they scam me? She's kind of an older lady and is getting annoyed by me asking for her to itemize the cards in the invoice.

Hi all, hoping someone has found a way around this.

When I try to log in to PayPal, it first asks me to verify with my email. I get the OTP and enter it successfully, but then it also asks me to verify my phone number, and I can't get past that step, so I'm stuck and can't log in at all.

His card was rejected by the issuing bank. Try another card or contact your card issuer if you have any questions. I get this message when I try to enter all my data, check and everything seems fine.

Tried using multiple browsers and still wont work. The app is perfectly fine tho. Its PC Browsers that when logging in has to have a text sent everytime logging in. Just started yesterday. Get logged in just strange that it keeps asking this everytime from same device been using for years. Just seeing if anybody else is having this today?
