Hello @oceanwifi,    Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear there's been some confusion regarding a recent text and reaching out to our Customer Support. If you're concerned a recent text you've received is fraudulent, you can forward it to the email in this Help Center article just like you would if you Spot a fake or fraudulent email.    It sounds like you may have already taken the necessary steps since you're waiting for a new card, but if you need to report an unauthorized transaction, you can find those steps here: How do I report an unauthorized transaction or account activity?   Here's also an article on Contacting Customer Support with a few other options other just over the phone support. The alternate support methods may be available for a few hours after the phones are no longer available. Those contacts are normally prioritized as they are received, so there may potentially be delays depending on how many contacts are in those support queues.   My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best wishes on this and your transfers in the future,     - Jon K ... View more

Wireless Hotspot provider losing customers at PayP...

I've been using PayPal for @ 1 yr now  and the problem is: When a potential customer signs on to my Hotspot login page then selects credit/online time. He is directed to PayPal gateway. Customer inserts financial info to make payment, PayPal page allows customer to input info, but does not close transaction. Page simply loops. Apparrantly it is due to the IP's of the PayPal gateway changing subsequently not allowing the hotspot cache/database to accept the confirmed transaction. Not sure of the fix. But, we've come up with a script that updates the cache on the Hotspot server to follow the live IP of the PayPal gateway. This is a brief and general overview from my understanding of what is happening. Is anyone familiar with this transaction process and the flow. If there is a clear explanation and a fix, I would appreciate it. As, I still lose customers at the moment they input credit card info with the looping PayPal page. Thanks ... View more
