I just tried to call PayPal to break up a purchase into the 4 payments deal because I accidently bought the item as a whole without really being able to afford it. I googled contact info for paypal. I called them Google gives you. The guys name was <removed> ext 1191 supposedly and he told me to do this id have to send a reversal request to a Gmail account.. ive never really been techno savvy so I did as I was instructed. He then told me to get further help I would need to download an app called anydesk so he could see what I was doing to help me. As soon as I did this he asked me to tell him the number that popped up so he could link with me. The link that came through was paypal support and a huge long number afterwards it all seemed official until he told me the email to punch in. As soon as I did that he took control of my device and sent this specific email address 3 transactions totaling $692.20. So I just want to know if paypal will do anything about this nonsense. It put my account into the negative. If they won't do anything, can I get my bank to cancel the transactions?
