I was involved in an online scam where my paypal account was charged but I received no receipt from the vendor and they provided a fake tracking number. I reported all of the details and provided copies of my emails to the vendor.
I on 12/2 I attempted to purchased a computer monitor from an online site and paid using Paypal. After submitting the transaction I never received confirmation or a receipt. I did get an email from Paypal that my account was charged. I submitted a request for a receipt via the website customer service link explaining the issue and asked for a confirmation and receipt for the order. I did not get any reply and sent additional emails to the contact email on the Paypal receipt and got no answers. On 12/4/2019 there was an update on paypal with a tracking number. USPS tracking only shows the city and zip of the destination but not the full address. I tracked the package, and when it was supposedly delivered, nothing actually arrived. I have video evidence there was no delivery.
I contacted the post office and found out that the tracking number was spoofed. It was an real tracking number but for an unrelated package that was going to the same city and zip but not my address. It was from Albany NY and sent to a comply different name and address. It was also only 1 ounce. (Mine was supposed to be a 27" monitor).
At this point I filed a claim with paypal with all this info. Paypal closed the case the next day without even talking to me or the seller. They just said the item was delivered based on the fake tracking number. I called and spoke to an Paypal agent and explained all of the detail again. She said I needed to get an Intranet for from the USPS showing the details of the tracking number and upload that. When I called USPS I was told that the Intranet for is an internal only document and they do not provide that to the public.
So in a case of clear documented fraud Paypal if requiring a document that it is impossible for me to obtain? What do I do at this point?
