How safe is PayPal now?   Somebody has used my son's account and did ACH Debit 3 times for a total of $450.

All transactions were debited directly from his checking account and payable to Web ID: PAYPALS77

PAYPAL INST XFER SOFTCELBERG WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 $200.00

PAYPAL INST XFER GCHAZ193 WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 $200.00

 

The funny thing is there was no activity at all in his Summary/Activity.  So, he called PayPal and they told him that somebody has used his identity to open another account and done bogus transactions in another country.  PayPal closed the fake account instantly and advised my son to contact his bank to do neccesary steps for his own protection.

 

I don't understand why PayPal could not stop any cloning account without verifying first.  As far as I remember you need to verify and confirm even for an email change.  Is PayPal really safe now?

I saw this account charge as well. Turns out it Lightstream in my case, a legitimate charge.

I am a victim also. this same ID took $823 and $1 from my account on 3/5/18 and 2/1/18. It looks like Paypal has not stopped the fraudulent activity from this account even though it was reported by multiple users.

And because this was not initiated from my Paypal account, it is hard to file the claim.

Clearly Paypal is safe for people committing fraud and money laundering, and intends to remain safe for those users.    they can take money out of your bank account, and then send it wherever they like with no consequences.  Paypal doesnt even close the fraudster's account, so they can keep doing it.   same thing happened to me.  only for tiny amounts.  Same user PAYPALSI77  and after many of the posts here...  good job paypal.

Hi @dejaland,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you've also seen unauthorized transactions on your bank statement. Please refer back to my earlier post on this thread for the steps to take to have this investigated. Once you report the situation to customer support, a representative can look into what was compromised, open an investigation, and then you can report to the issuing bank so the card or bank account can be closed and a new number issued.

 

Please also note that email addresses may not be posted in the community. The posting of private information is unsafe as it leaves it open to opportunistic fraudsters.

You should double check your Paypal transactions.  I had a similar charge to my bank account and was concerned.  There was no transaction which matched the amount of the INST XFER.  However, once I spoke with PayPal on the phone, they informed me that the charge was the amount of the difference between the balance in my PayPal account, and the amount of my airBnb charge.  It seems that PayPal uses the WEB ID: PAYPALS177 to make charges to your connected bank account when your PayPal credit balance isn't enough to pay the charge.  That could be the answer to your problem.
