Fraud and no other options

Someone has been using my mother's credit card with Paypal and has been using my email address and real name, what do I do!? P.S. I had file a report and the only thing they told me was to close her account yet it's still happening! Is there any way other than closing it?

 

We consider to call Paypal but me and my mother refused to give them our credit card number, so please tell me if there are any other options!Smiley Sad

You'll have to talk with the paypal people about that because I don't know if you can make multiple accounts. My email is

the one that the **bleep** is using now that I use to sign up last month and the situation started 2 months ago! AND WHY ON EARTH WOULD I USE MY OWN MOTHERS NAME AND CREDIT CARD!? I actually have a good job with good pay to have MY OWN card and I CLEARLY wouldn't use my own mothers name for this account!

Well, you never explained how your mother's credit card is really linked to this situation and how that relates to your PayPal account and bank account.

I have no idea either. All I know is someone is using MY MOTHERS credit card and is using my NAME AND EMAIL and the letters say PAYPAL: [GAME TITLE].

Just learned I can't because the guy's is still using it with my name and email address and the bank will only know it's in my name.

I have no Idea, and that's why we're gonna close it on Monday. They probably saw my name and email address on Facebook since that's the only place that is shown. When we received a letter from the bank it specifically said, " PAYPAL: OVER THE MOON" and so yeah it was an online puchase maybe, and when we asked the guy who bought it, he said it was me when it obviously wasn't! It was probably for some stupid games or something. This is the best I can answer.
