Try to access your account on a laptop- hit the settings cog wheel- scroll to top of page and find drop down menu that says “Data/Privacy” click it- scroll down and see if you can delete your data/account here. ... View more

You are appreciated! That pathway does not exist on the mobile access- but you can find it through a drop down screen on the main website. We received a notification it may take 30 days to delete our information. It's better than what's been promised by calling customer service, although 2/20+ reps I spoke with were earnestly trying to help!  ... View more

Ugh! They removed the phone number! Customer service is [Removed]. The fake tech support ends in [Removed]. Keep on them- reject the lies of system updates, pending charges, shadow accounts. ... View more

Make sure you are calling the customer service number[Removed. Phone #s not permitted] if you Google for tech support number for PayPal- there is a scam number that pops up- I called it and they answered, “PayPal tech support.” I asked, “Did you say you were PayPal tech support?” He said he didn’t say that- so, I asked who he was- he was a smart jerk and said “You called me, who do you think I am?” I asked again, what did you say when you answered? He said “Go to He**” So, be very careful! The scam number posing as tech support is[Removed. Phone #s not permitted]they are not PayPal!! ... View more

Here’s your problem. PayPal is corrupt. Ask yourself why a respectable CFO would leave EA to work for PayPal 8/1/2022- then suddenly leave PP 9/15/2022- maybe it’s the onslaught of class action suits headed their way- the first one I found is out of New Jersey on behalf of investors. You see, Paypal was caught with millions of fake accounts as well as refusing to remove accounts/ why? To convince investors they are worth more than they are. That’s fraud. So, now that they must prove in court these are legitimate accounts- they are trying everything in their power to block users from leaving. That is illegal. There needs to be a payback day for PayPal- urge everyone to dump them- some accounts are able to close- but others aren’t- just make it known they are not trustworthy with finances. I’ll let you know if I am successful. ... View more

Do not give up! I am this close to flying to San Jose and picketing their corporate office- and I’ve only asked for 5 days!! They are violating state and federal trade laws. File a complaint at FTC.gov and locally with your state’s attorney general. They get (more) corrupt- we get loud. ... View more

Correct. In 2015, the principal/majority owners shifted. BlackRock/Vanguard/others are the biggest backers- BlackRock is steeped in global WEF mantras. Australia and Canada were highly successful in using financial institutions to force mandates- they are trying hard to enforce that here. ... View more

I am ‘promised’ software engineering team specialist will call me bc they ‘escalated’ my ticket. Here’s my speculation. Seeing the class action lawsuit filed last week against PayPal in New Jersey (Bragal, Eagel & Squire) it’s become very clear PayPal has refused to close accounts in order to deceive investors- if they delete your account- they must also delete your account history- which they use fraudulently to create a false narrative about their worth. We haven’t even use that much on PayPal, but we did spend thousands on Venmo for wedding vendors- could it be PayPal is linking accounts (without our permission) to claim that volume -double dipping? Venmo affirmed my account was never linked to PayPal- if that’s the case- they could be doing it illegally. ... View more

File a report with FTC.gov and your state attorney general. There is a class action lawsuit against PayPal filed last week by Bragar, Eagal & Squire in New Jersey- (starting to make sense) “ In addition, the PayPal class action lawsuit alleges that investors were unaware of the lengths PayPal was going to keep inactive customers and fake bot accounts on the platform to prevent churn and inflate its NNA guidance which would have provided a more realistic view of the true demand for PayPal’s platform.” This company must be shut down for illegal practices and fraudulent actions against the consumer! I’ve read Gabpay was created when PayPal closed their account, at will, three years ago. I’m gunshy and trust no financial platforms now. But, at least it’s being exposed- we are just caught in their web of deceit. ... View more
