Has anyone else gone through getting robbed while shopping using an app? I have and for some reason paypal keeps allowing it even after i asked for the app to be blocked and reported for fraud but no luck. well a couple months ago i found out someone used my bank info and bought something for $3 so i reported it since it wasnt anything i knew about and the app that did it refused to approve it claiming it was me. Then on top of that i go to my bank and let them know to freeze my account and i would be in to take what i had in case. I go in and the teller asks if i was the change (.29) i said no and she gives it to me anyways and i find out later on it wasnt there in the first place because i guess paypal was trying to verify my account and took that change out and it didnt update on their screen and when i told her i didnt want the change she said she couldnt take it back. I ended up getting charged up to $100 on 29 cents smh i couldnt believe it so i called the bank and told them what had happend and they claimed they would fix it and out of nowhere i still owe 65 and now its gone up again in fees when i was told it was taken care of. i dont know how paypal does it but they seem to rob and are allowed to get away with it. There was an error and im the one expected to pay for it. If i request an app be blocked shouldnt it be? Also i didnt know my bank was gonna charge me a $25 neg bal fee over 29 cents smh. I dont know whose worse my bank for paypal for not fixing the mistake and they didnt even look at my account because not even 2 mins after i reported it to them they had closed the case....honestly annoying and exactly why i refuse to do business with them
Never happened to me. I do not shop with or in a store app. Just select reputable websites. And never linked my PayPal account to too many places so it is manageable and less chance for unauthorized charges as some apps are not that well coded and can have security vulnerabilities.
