Continue to reopen claims after they’re denied. Call customer service for advice and keep it fact based. I ordered clothing from a website and got scammed. I made photos of the clothing and fraudulent website. It was a lot of work but it worked out at the end  ... View more

Unforetenately that didn’t help. I’ve issued another claim via calling Paypal’s customer service. I’ve ordered a blazer via a retailer and instead paid voor someone’s Tiktok credit. I did’t subscribe for a pre established payment. I’ve contacted the fashion retailer and Tiktok and both didn’t reply to me. I haven’t ordered anything via Tiktok but was scammed via internet. I am sad to see that Paypal is not helping me in anyway and protecting the fraudulent internet seller. Next step is that I need to issue a police report for online fraud and cancel my Paypal account, I’ve also blocked my credit card as I don’t feel comfortable for paying via Paypal anymore.  ...

I’ve been charged with USD 98.80 on my Credit card by a company called Bytedance. On my activity it is mentioned: Tiktok. I got no idea why I’ve been charged with USD 98.80 as I have not ordered nor received any products or  services from Bytedance or Tiktok. I’ve issued a complaint at Paypal, but they’ve rejected my complaint. I’ve reopened my complaint and it is under investigation.  how is it possible that I am being charged with USD 98.80 for a company I’ve never heard of and got no idea why USD 98.80 have been charged to my credit card. I didn’t receive an email from Bytedance nor Tiktok in which they’ve mentioned which product or service they’ll deliver for USD 98.80. The safety and security of Paypal is very poorly as I’ve never been scammed via normal bank transactions. I guess everyone needs to be scammed someday.. does anyone have a suggestion for me? Go to my credit card supplier and issue a fraud report? ... View more
