Hi, I have received multiple requests for payment(50 or more) from all over the world in the last few days. See screenshot attached. What can I do to stop this and get PayPal to intervene?

Hello @AliceSOAMES, Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you are facing.
If you no longer want to receive payments or messages from another PayPal user, you can block them via the PayPal website or mobile app.
Website:
- Go to your Contacts.
- Choose the name of the person you want to block.
- Click Block this contact.
- Click Block to confirm.
PayPal app:
- Tap Payments, then tap Pay.
- Under "Your contacts," find the person you want to block and tap the 3 dots next to their name.
- Tap Block (person's name).
- Tap Block to confirm.
Once you block someone, they'll no longer be able to send you money, message you, or find you in the PayPal directory.
I hope this helps,
- Sean
