Hi,

 

I just got scammed. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get my money back, but I want to try to get their account closed. But there's not place I can find on PayPal's site to report a user. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Let PayPal know immediately if you believe someone is trying to scam or defraud you by contacting us.

 

Scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US.

 

Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep. Say "Live Agent" to the automated recording.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I just called asked for live agent, got the standard hold messaging, and then busy signal. #PayPalFail It shouldn't be this hard to report fraud on their website or through the phone.
