I totally have the same scam going on! They obviously entered my info into USPS and got a shipping number from my Home Depot shipment (which had been ordered before the Paypal vendor item) and sent that to Paypal resolution as evidence that they had sent my package!

Sending all of this tracking, resolution and scam info to The Wallstreet Journal cyber investigations unit. Some negative PR for Paypal before X-mas might improve their resolution to their fraud and security problems. ... View more

Tried phone and e-mail nothing works to stop a fraudulent payment I don’t use twitter. Two transactions in July, different vendor names, but turned out to be the same vendor. California based.
