Hacker removes $3000 from my Paypal account; then I get a scam e-mail stating: "Your processing of $3000 failed to go to Visa because of the Paypal business account. We recommend keeping the money in Paypal and using it to pay Business related fees." (See actual scam e-mail below sent from a gmail account)
The transaction no longer appears on Paypal, and the money is gone. I have called Paypal many times, but no one picks up their phone. I have sent multiple messages to them but all I get back is a scripted response from a bot
outlining what to do if my funds are held. These responses do not address the FRAUD that has taken place.
Does anyone on this forum know what I should do?
Scam e-mail I got after my money was removed:
From: <removed> (fake e-mail address removed per Paypal forum policy) Date: Monday, May 4, 2020 at 2:55 PM To: <removed> (e-mail address removed per Paypal forum policy) Subject: Paypal Your processing of $3000 failed to go to Visa because of the Paypal business account.
