Resolution Issue for Bitcoin Purchase

Merry Christmas to all!

I’ve recently fell victim to a scam to purchase bitcoin. They called me incessantly from an 888 number and said there was a breach on my PayPal account and they needed me to enter my paypal code to stop the intuder. Now I found out someone purchased 100 of bitcoin on the 12th. Really right before Christmas, and I am a social security recipient. I report it, they indicate this would be resolved by 12/23/23, now it has changed to 12/28/23. Really???

Paypal tells you never to share any code sent to you to access your paypal account, if you do then someone else has access to your account.

 

You will be lucky to get a refund at all let alone a delayed one as you allowed someone to access your paypal account.
