Is this Fraud? I never use RAISE.com

[Guannan]

I got the email this morning, 12/27/2016, said I paid RAISE COM $470.00. What????? I don't even know this website. This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when RAISE COM completes your order. Paid with VISA ‪x-3308‬ Transaction ID 8S322322HV813772C Seller info RAISE COM Details Amount$470.00 Fee$0.00 Total$470.00

I received the same unathorized transaction. I called PayPal and they were completely unhelpful, but said I will need to call my bank account to stop the payment/transaction. You should call your Bank Account immediately. Unforutnately, my Bank charges a fee for a stop payment... Calling PayPal back for options now.

I submitted something on PayPal website to dispute it as I did with my bank also. PayPal is generally real helpful anytime I have had a problem before like this. I talked to the CEO of raisecom.com but not sure if was right company. Calling me back when he talks with accounts payable to see if there's any pending payment. Nice guy!

I didn't even confirm the only card which linked with my PayPal account. I am using Venmo instead, from PayPal inc. as well. It showed pending transaction. I removed my only unconfirmed card. Can they still charge me?

I had my account hacked on 12/22/2016.  I called Paypal immediately.  They said they would try to stop it, but they didn't.  I have talked with Paypal several times since.  They are aware of the problem, but I still have not received credit back.  I have been told they have to follow certain procedures regarding RAISE COM because Patriot Act?  I have spoken with my bank, as well, but I am still waiting on credit back.  I had 3 charges of $84, $78, and $192.  Super frustrating, especially at this time of year.

Don't forget to change your PayPal password. I have updated mine and also called PayPal to Freeze my account until the pending transaction is completely canceled.

I went to the bank and changed my card with a new number. Change the card number! The unauthorized payment is still pending, the bank will help me dispute this payment after it got posted. Go to the bank to seek help!

This also happened to me. $480 charged to my paypal on Christmas. I've never heard of RAISE.com before. I've filed a dispute with PayPal, am talking to my bank and will be getting a new card. I also contacted Raise directly and they send me a strange response saying they recently partnered with PayPal and to contact them directly.

Same, they tried 4 timesto charge me $475 and were successful the fourth. Now I'm dealing with a PP nightmare with my bank. Might be the end of a long relationahsip with PP for me.
