I AM REPORTING A SCAM.

ALSO, WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO REPORT THIS TO PAYPAL? I AM BEING SENT IN CIRCLES!

PLEASE SEE THE MESSAGE THAT I RECIEVED BELOW. THIS WAS NOT MY CHARGE. WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER IN THE EMAIL FROM LINDAA <removed>, THE PERSON TRIED TO GET ME TO DOWNLOAD THE APP "ANYDESK". I DID NOT DOWNLOAD IT, AND AFTER A SEARCH I LEARNED THAT ANYDESK IS A SCAM. HERE IS THE MESSAGE THAT I RECIEVED TODAY:

 

We noticed a login

Hi @mn6902

 

I'm sorry to hear of the situation. This email certainly isn't from us. You can find details how to spot a fake email and what to do if you receive one here

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks,
