Hi @truthseeker11 Thank you for communicating with us. Sorry to hear about what happened. If you notice a transaction that you didn’t authorize, let us know right away in the Resolution Center. Some charges may appear unfamiliar but are legitimate and authorized, learn more. Before filing a case, make sure the suspicious activity wasn't from a family member using your account or from a recurring payment, such as a subscription. Go to the Resolution Center. Click Report a Problem. Select the transaction you want to report and click Continue. Select "I want to report unauthorized activity." Follow the steps to report the transaction. After you provide more information, we prompt you to change your password and security questions to help protect you from further unauthorized activity. What's Next? Once you have filed an unauthorized transaction dispute, we'll investigate the transaction. You'll receive an email within 10 days. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

Pretty much the same here! A fake website uses my debit card for fraudulent $50 charge!! You can't talk to a HUMAN about it and they just have me going in circles!! I'm so heated right now! I love the reply from jown10 to report it IMMEDIATELY...JOKE! THEY notified ME that there's suspicious activity and then deny my refund as it was AUTHORIZED! I can't wait to hear from my lawyer how to proceed since they claim "buyer protection" so clearly the only scammers are PAYPAL! Better business bureau is getting a call tomorrow too! Have a blessed night!
