Re: Paypal Refund Request

Just dispute the payment with your credit card company. Forget about any help from PayPal. They're useless. All that will happen is they'll run you around in circles. Your bank/cc issuer is really your only option. ... View more

I finally just went through my bank that issued my card I used. They charged the money the scammer got back to Paypal and I got that money refunded to my account. My bank did the proper investigation into this scam and did the right thing. It took them just a short time, like a week and a half or so, to investigate and actually contact the USPS and found out exactly what the scammer pulled with the phony tracking number. Paypal doesn't care simply because they've already got their money off the top at the beginning of the scam so they won't waste time doing something like... INVESTIGATE! They are scum just like the scammers. Since the FBI Cyber Crimes is investigating this, I have to keep my account going but I have removed my bank accounts and all but this one card that had been used in the scam. Once they give me the All Clear, I'm closing my 21 year old Paypal account. ... View more

You need to file a complaint with your state's Attorney General's Office. Also file complaints with the FBI.gov (ic3 complaint), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (cfpb). ASAP. ... View more

File an ic3 complaint through the FBI.gov. Also, if you're in the U.S. file a complaint with your state attorney general's office. Then, there's also the government CFPB complaints. File that too. This is ridiculous. They are getting so horribly blatant and in our faces with this scam. Time to get them shut down. ... View more

Siobhan...Sorry, but that instruction is absolutely NOT accurate. My claim to Paypal against a scammer was denied only a few days ago so I just tried following your instructions here and there is absolutely nothing but a "view" button. Nothing else. There is NO place to appeal anything here on Paypal. I'm adding a .pdf of this misleading post to my complaints with my state attorney general's office, my fbi ic3 complaint, and my CFPB complaint as even more proof of how Paypal just runs us around in circles going nowhere after they've sided with the scammers against us. ...

Hi! Thanks for the response and for your suggestions. Much appreciated. They no longer have an "About" link on the Paypal website. That was first thing we checked for.  I guess I can check the Better Business Bureau, I've checked just about everywhere else. But, I've dealt with BBB in the past and it went nowhere. We found they're just basically sort of a place to post reviews on businesses. It really carries no weight, unfortunately. Even social media seems to be more weighty than the BBB nowadays. 😕   ...

Here's the link to some very eye-opening information:  https://zeen.com/who-owns-paypal/ "Who owns PayPal- The worldwide popular digital payment platform that helps users make smooth payments has over 305 million accounts worldwide. People use PayPal to transfer money, hold PayPal balance in the digital wallet, withdraw funds through checks, debit and credit cards. There are literally multifold functions one could perform using the amazing online payments platform, PayPal. However, PayPal hasn't grown to this level with a single leader. There is a mafia for PayPal known as PayPal Mafia.  The PayPal Mafia consists of the richest men in Silicon Valley. Being an independent brand, the most successful businessmen, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Max Levchin, Luke Nosek and Ken Howery own the company now. In fact, these groups of people that own Tesla, LinkedIn, SpaceX etc along with former employees are known as the PayPal Mafia that work for the company." I say everyone with a Twitter account should be tweeting the hell out of these five guys and giving screenshots of their ignored complaints against Paypal and the out and out scams PP is perpetrating on its customers as they side with the scammers. So, Paypal will no longer allow us to file class action suits against them when we are defrauded? Well, maybe we can bombard them all on Twitter with what they're involved in. Shine a huge spotlight on them all. I don't know what else to do. I have been taken yet again by a scammer with the blessings of Paypal. They think we have no recourse now and they can just do whatever they want with no consequences or repurcussions. I have filed complaints with my Postal Inspector General, with my bank Wells Fargo, NA, I even filed an ic3 complaint with the FBI.gov so far. After this, I will be filing a complaint against Paypal with my WA State Attorney General's Office. This article is the only fairly current info I was finally able to come up with as to who now owns Paypal since eBay supposedly unloaded it back in 2017. If anyone out there knows how to find out via some government entity the actual owners of Paypal, I would really appreciate the input! It's interesting that on Paypal's website, there is NO "About Us" link anymore, either. Since eBay dumped Paypal, everything you try to do there to get help or find out pertinent information you need just leads you around in a big circle going nowhere. ... View more

This has been a major complaint now for years. Paypal is getting worse and worse. I hope they finally get shut down. They can only scam people out of their money for just so long before their house of cards finally collapses. ... View more
