Email saying I bought a coffee maker for over $500

Got an email that looked like a PayPal receipt saying I bought a coffee maker for over $500. It had that email address I don't even use anymore, so I wasn't sure if it was tied to my PayPal account or not.

The sender was [email protected] and the phone number listed was (810) 296-5281. Address said 2600 monterey rd, San Jose, CA 95111. I didn't actually lose any money but it was pretty convincing.

I just wanted to report it because it felt off. I never bought anything like that.

Calendar invite about a gun purchase I never made

I got a notice on my Google work calendar that looked like it was from PayPal. It said a charge for $530.04 was scheduled to the Springfield Armory for one gun item #SA-9MM-XD9. It had a transaction ID and an order ID and a dispute number to call, (805) 422-6597.

So I called the number right away. The guy who answered was from a foreign call center. He kept trying to get me to sign in to www.ultraviewer.net so he could help me fix the fraudulent charge. That didn't make sense to me. I just canceled my PayPal account on January 10th, 2026.

Called a number for PayPal and got scammed out of 10k

I was trying to figure out why I couldn’t accept a payment on PayPal so I looked up a number to call them. I guess I didn’t actually get PayPal on the line. The guy said his name was James and he acted like he was helping me.

He walked me through some stuff and I ended up giving him access or info I shouldn’t have. Before I knew it $10,000 was gone from my account. The number I called was (719) 664-8566 and it’s tied to Pueblo, CO.

I feel so stupid about it. I thought I was talking to PayPal the whole time. They never mentioned the website or anything official. Just took my money.

Plastic bags from Gichael Lichael charged to my PayPal

I got these plastic bags in the mail, I think they were supposed to be vacuum seal bags but I never even took them out of the wrapped package. I don't even use vacuum seal bags so I have no idea why I got them. The name on the sender was Gichael Lichael from Los Angeles. I looked it up on Google and found that name is a known scammer.

They charged my PayPal account on June 29 or maybe July 1, I pay with my Discover card so it went through that way. The total was like 61 dollars. I never ordered anything from them. I just want my money back.

Letter about Walgreens purchase sent to PayPal, not sure who sent it

I am not real sure if this is a scam from PayPal or CB NEPTUNE HOLDINGS, LLC but it looks like CB Neptune holdings sent something to PAYPAL about a qualifying Walgreens purchase. The letter came from their address in San Jose, 2211 N First St, and the email listed is [email protected].

I didn't lose any money over this, but it just didn't make sense to me. Why would a company send something to PayPal about a Walgreens purchase? It felt strange. I just wanted to flag it because it seems off.

Someone is using my email for a PayPal account I never opened

This morning I got 3 emails from PayPal saying someone added a new email to an account using my email. The thing is, I don't have a PayPal account. I never opened one. So I called their customer service at (844) 373-4961 to try and sort it out.

The rep wouldn't help me at all. I told them I can't log in because there's no account to log into, and they just hung up on me. I'm not trying to get into anything, I just want to know why my email is being used and how to get it removed from PayPal completely. Their website is Paypal.com and the address they have listed is 2211 N 1st., San Jose, CA 95131. I'm not sure what else to do here.

Hacked email and PayPal used for fake Booking.com trips

Someone hacked my email and my PayPal account. They booked two trips to Europe and Italy through Booking.com. They also got into my phone and took over my outgoing calls.

When I tried to call PayPal, the call got routed to a fake customer service number at 844-373-4961. A manager at Bank of America saw this happen. I thought under FDIC law my bank would cover it since my debit card was used through PayPal. At first Bank of America put the money back. But now they say since I authorized the transactions they won't rule for me.

I've been going back and forth with PayPal trying to get my money back. Nothing is working. I lost $4,557.88. I guess I have to hire a lawyer now to prove I didn't do any of this.

PayPal denied my dispute with a fake tracking number

I bought something online and the merchant gave me a tracking number from something called JS Express that said it was delivered. But I have USPS informed delivery and I even checked with my local post office and they told me the tracking number doesn't even exist in their system.

So I filed a dispute with PayPal and they denied it. They said because the merchant submitted a tracking number that shows delivered. But it's bogus. I lost $93.56 and now I'm stuck with nothing.

Email invoice for a coffee maker I didn't order

I got an email from something called "MARTTIME Team" saying I had an invoice from PayPal for a coffee maker. It said the name on it was "PENELOPE Purdy" and I owed $509.17.

It looked like a phishing thing to me. The email came from [email protected] which is not PayPal. The address they listed was 2660 Monterey RD in San Jose but I don't know if that's real.

I didn't lose any money but it was confusing and I don't like getting fake bills like that.

Text saying I owe money for a service I never used

I got a text saying I needed to pay some amount for a service. I don’t even use PayPal so that didn’t make any sense. I already reported it as a scam and blocked and deleted the message.

No idea what they were talking about or who sent it. Just a random text saying I owed money. I didn’t lose any money but it was annoying.

Paid for a package that never showed up and PayPal sided with the seller

I bought something online and the company said my package was delivered to a parcel locker but it never was. When I contacted them they just told me to check with the post office or ask family and friends if they got it. I tracked the package and it said delivered but there was no photo confirmation, just an example of what a photo would look like. That made no sense.

I called the post office and they said the tracking number was not legit and they had no packages for me. Then I clicked the email address the seller gave me and it went nowhere. So I disputed it with PayPal asking for a charge back. PayPal denied my case saying the seller provided the info needed for delivery. I asked what info because there were no photos of it on my doorstep or in a parcel locker and the tracking number was fake. PayPal just said they were no longer monitoring the conversation and closed the case. So much for PayPal being a legit payment platform.

Unauthorized charge on my credit card through PayPal

I got a charge on my PayPal for $100.00 that I never made. It was on my credit card. I don’t know how it happened. I didn’t authorize it. I saw it when I checked my account. I tried to look into it but nothing made sense. No one contacted me about it. I didn’t get any email or text. Just the charge was there. I don’t know who did it or what it was for. It just showed up.

Got a strange email about a coffee maker purchase on my PayPal

I got this email saying I bought a coffee maker through my PayPal account. I never bought any coffee maker. The email told me to call a number if I had questions. The number was (810) 379-7028 and it said the address was in San Jose, CA.

It felt off right away. I didn't call the number. I checked my actual PayPal account and there was no charge for a coffee maker. Nothing was missing from my account. It was just a weird email trying to get me to call.

Got a fake PayPal text about a charge I don't recognize

I got a text message that says it's from PayPal. It says thank you for using PayPal and that my account was charged $351.24. It says the money will be taken out in 24 hours. It tells me to contact a toll free number if I didn't recognize the transaction, but it doesn't even give a number.

The thing is, I don't even have a PayPal account. So this is definitely a scam. The text just showed up. It's signed with weird names like Janet Chan and Rural Wolf Accounting and Brittany Decker, which makes no sense. It's clearly a phishing attempt to get my information.

Charged $49.99 for a subscription I never wanted

I took a quiz and paid a dollar for a report. They say when I did that, there was a disclaimer about a subscription. I don't remember seeing anything like that. Then about a week later, I see a $49.99 charge came out through PayPal.

I disputed it with PayPal but I picked the wrong option, so they closed it the same day. Since then, I've been trying to get the company to refund me. They keep telling me they can't because there's an open dispute with my bank. I tell them it's closed, but it doesn't matter. We just go in circles.

It's been over a week since PayPal closed it on my end, and these people still say it's open and they can't do anything. I had to open another dispute with PayPal. This company has very deceptive practices. Everyone should stay far away.

Got a fake invoice text, called the number and it was a scam.

I got a text message about an invoice for PayPal. The thing is, I don't even have a PayPal account. So I called the number they gave, (808) 642-7627, because I wanted to tell them they had the wrong person.

It was clearly a scam. The whole thing felt off from the start. They were just trying to get information. I didn't give them anything and I didn't lose any money, but it's annoying to get these fake messages pretending to be from a company like PayPal.

Got a weird foreign charge on my PayPal I didn't authorize

I just saw a charge on my PayPal for +?0.01 PHP. I have no idea what this is. I don't really use PayPal much, so it's definitely a phishing scam from some person or business I've never heard of.

I definitely didn't authorize anyone to check my PayPal account like a bank and make those small deposits. It feels off. When they open, I will be calling PayPal about this.

Got a weird crypto deposit in my PayPal account

I got a crypto deposit put into my PayPal account. It just showed up and I don't know where it came from. I never authorized anything like that. It feels off and I don't want it there. I'm worried it's connected to a scam. I got a text from a number (917) 593-5407 that seemed like a bank imposter thing right around the same time. It's all just really suspicious.

Got a weird PayPal deposit and a note to call a strange number

I just got a deposit for three cents into my PayPal. It was from someone named [email protected]. The note said it was for "goods" and then it had this whole message in there.

The note said I got an email because my account processed a payout by small deposit confirmation. It said if I authorized it, do nothing. But if I didn't, I should contact PayPal Customer Care at +1 (888) 927-9710 right away to secure my account and ask for a refund.

The whole thing felt off. I didn't authorize any payout. That phone number isn't the one I know for PayPal. It seems like a phishing thing to get me to call that number. I didn't lose any money but it's a creepy attempt.

Got a fake email from PayPal about a tiny deposit

I got an email saying it was from PayPal. It said less than a cent was put into my account. They gave a phone number to call, so I did. The person who answered wanted me to download some program onto my computer. That's when I hung up. The email came from [email protected] and the number was (808) 321-4764. It all felt off.
