recent scam called "MY.GAMES B.V." is doing automatic payments to get all the funds in one's account

[Dominic92x]

Hey Jon, I appreciate your response - and by looking at the number of people reporting issues I sure hope PayPal can do something. I'm old man, I don't have Twitter or Facebook. I sent an email to PayPal appeals and have not received a response. Is there any other way to get into contact with someone?? I want to know more about why I was not notified of a recurrent charge being added to my account? No email, no message from the app? Maybe I should just go to my bank and ask for a chargeback? I don't want to sound rude but it's my hard earned money that PayPal failed to protect. This started in November for several people...was there a breach of some kind?

yeah watch for calls from some thing claiming to be paypal

the message when it was a call said I was changing my phone number on paypal account

had to change all my pin and account password tonight midnight

I had the same problem! I never set up any automatic subscriptions with them. Never even used their website. So frustrated with Paypal...

I thought it was a scam too, but it turns out it's the payments for the Russian website Boosty, their Onlyfans type website, so if you have any subscriptions on there that's what it is.

Had the same situation. Made a video about it. [removed]

Also don't know the exact reason how it happened, but solved the problem and returned all the money back even when PayPal didn't want to solve the problem at the beginning.

Help me please, I'm desperate, how or where did you send the video to be able to solve it, they charged me 90 dollars

[AllexTz]

Check on YouTube and check how I solved that.

Did you recently sent a payment through something called BOOSTY? A russian website for paying for like art and adopts and the like? I think boosty uses the my games email for PayPal payments after looking into it a little more.

[Rlynbook]

This is Boosty - at least it is on my account. If you are getting the same amount come out each month you might have a boosty subscription, which can be managed on the boosty website.

Just so people know this may be connected to Boosty, a lot of Russian artists/creatives have started using Boosty cause they can't use PayPal. If you paid anyone on the Boosty site you can go all the way down and see that it's actually connected to My Games.BV So unfortunately the app may be automatically subscribing you and charging you each month without you even agreeing or knowing it's connected to an app!
