Hello. I withdrew an amount from my PayPal account to my bank account (MetroBank - Philippines). After doing so, there were charges in my bank account with transaction name as ET MCI Sale. There were even 3 and they are very large charges summing up to 5504.97 PHP. What is this? Can someone verify this transaction? I really do not remember using my PayPal account nor my bank account to pay these kind of fees. Please help. Thank you

Turned out I was a victim of phishing scheme. Apparently one of the Metrobank's ATM is compromised and my account in bottomline was hacked. This is no fault of PayPal at all. Hackers just put random transactions in your account (including this: PayPayl ET MCI sale). Apparently, many have experienced this issue so I think just don't use Metrobank at all.

Hi! What happened to your complaint? I had the same experience and I don't know ET MCI SALE. I blocked my card and tomorrow I'll visit the nearest Metrobank.

I just called Metrobank <removed> and they said it was Airbnb, and they were right. I had a transaction with Airbnb before and used my debit card. First payment (first half) was the day the booking was confirmed and the second half is two weeks before the scheduled booking date.
