I am receiving Bugus Payment into my Paypal Account for Clochting which I do not sell (I am a software developer). The charge in Phillapino Pesos, for clothing allegedly bought by shoppers in Canada. The cost of the goods is always discounted by an amount that leaves only the Paypal Fee value for the transaction. The resulting Balance in the account is ZERO. This is obviously some sort of attempted Refund fraud and is ongoing. I have had 5 such transactions recently, latest today. I have contacted Paypal both in chat and by phone to bring the matter to their attention for resolution and investigation but their only response was the following email: "An update on your case. We've reviewed your unauthorised activity case, and determined that there was no unauthorised use of your PayPal account. This case has been closed. If you're not satisfied with your purchase for other reasons, we encourage you to work with the seller to find a solution. If you can't resolve the issue with the seller, you can lodge a dispute in the Resolution Centre. For more information about your cases, please go to the Resolution Centre." ------ It is pretty obvious that they have not read the information provided, don't care, or are not interested in investigating and preventing these fraudulent transactions. I don't know if Paypal is actually collecting the fee shown in the payment information. But what I am fairly certain about is that i cannot be the ONLY person that is seeing these BOGUS transactions appearing in their account. I would be interested to hear who else might be receiving similar payment advice, and if anyone has clicked the Refund Transaction button. If so what was the result? (Note: I have not tried to refund one of these transactions) If someone from Paypal wants to follow up the last Case No was : Case ID PP-R-GQW-479776043. There have been a further 2 transactions since then.
