So I sent this guy like 80 bucks over paypal and he was gonna ship me his product but I waited over a month and nothing ever showed up and he ghosted me for a while, then when he comes back and texts me he tries to give me my money back by sending me a paypal link, so I try logging in and it kept trying to get me to reset my password or something so I just closed out of it and then I got a notification saying i sent him 100 dollars. PayPal already "viewed" my case and the email said it was closed because it looked like it was authorized. So no help there I try calling them and of course no **bleep**ing real people to talk to and the live chat is **bleep** too, can somebody help me, damn.

Hi @Cashon,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you have had an unauthorized payment come out of your PayPal account. It sounds like the link that the person sent you was a malicious link designed to get you to divulge your password. I suggest that you contact PayPal by phone and follow the prompts to report unauthorized access until you get to a live representative, so that representative can hear out the whole story and look into the details. 

 

Please click Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website, then Call us, then log in or call as a guest.

 

If you continue to have difficulty contacting by phone, please consider contacting by PM on Facebook or DM on Twitter.

 

I hope this can be resolved quickly!
