Ok so a few weeks ago i get a notification on my phone that there was some suspicious activity on my paypal account. $2. A $2 transaction to telstra. Im on optus so i clicked the "no, this wasnt me button" immediately cursing myself because my account gets put in lockdown over $2.
Then i go to log on, see my account is restricted and also see that a $200 negative balance has been applied because of an alleged gumtree transaction where "scotts of adelaide" has sold a 18ct gold necklace to someone , using my paypal Details somehow, and not sent it. Im not scotts of adelaide, never owned a 18ct anything ever, havent been on gumtree since mid 2017, when i went to sell a watch snd found it so riddled with scammers and bugs i gave up on it entirely.
Now theyre going to close this dispute today in their favour when i never received this 200, never sold an item, and its been done on the same day as the "suspicious" activity THAT PAYPAL REPORTED TO ME!! how do they see a $2 suspicious trans but not the $200 one immediately following that one.. HOW THE HELL DO I TALK TO A HUMAN ABOUT THIS.?
