Unauthorized Paypal INST XFER

Smiped

Hi guys I just logged on to my bank account and in the transactions I see two "PAYPAL INST XFER LARSONROBBER WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 - $25.00" transactions (total $50.00) and another "PAYPAL INST XFER MKATHLEEN83 WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 - $6.50" transaction. The first transfer with the name "LARSONROBBER" is kind of blantant that this is a scam transaction that I did not authorize.

 

I never authorized these payments and in fact I rarely ever spend on my bank account so I'm certain I've never mistakenly bought something that I didn't realize. I am trying to dispute the transaction online through PAYPAL but I cannot seem to find the transaction ID. Help please!

I have no clue.

You mentioned mutiple acocunts linked but you don't explain the associations.

Whithout seeing a list of transactions in associated accounts I have no clue.

Who else has access to any to the accounts?

So I have 3 Chase accounts, 2 of them are linked to Paypal, 1 is not. The 3 accounts are linked in my Chase online banking as they're all Chase acconts. Nobody has access to these accounts but me. The account that is not linked to Paypal and that I have never used for anything but paying payroll and payroll taxes is the account that these charges showed up in. They look like this:

 

Jun 5, 2017 PAYPAL ECHECK BANDCAMP WEB ID: PAYPALEC88 ACH debit −$1.00 Jun 2, 2017 PAYPAL INST XFER BANDCAMP WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 ACH debit −$1.00     PAYPAL INST XFER PHARMAPACKS WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 ACH debit −$3.85   May 12, 2017 PAYPAL INST XFER BANDCAMP WEB ID: PAYPALSI77 ACH debit −$1.00

 

I have 2 issues. The first and big one is that this Trust account is not for and never has been for personal use. If my paypal is somehow leaking into this account I need to fix it as like i said, I'm accountable for this account. Second, even if these had shown up in either of the other Chase accounts that I have linked to paypal, I don't understand what they're for. Can you help? thanks for your time.

I'm literally having these same problems! My paypal account is attached to my debit card and checking, yet I'm having funds pulled from my savings account which PayPal doesn't have ahold of. Transactions ranging from $1 to $39.17. Need help to stop these from continuing.

Exactly the same problem with me! The transactions have ranged from $4 to $52...

 

Also noticed on my Chase statement it says the they are ACH debit transactions (unlike all the rest)

It is appalling to me that nobody has mentioned that oh hey Paypal was able to help me resolve this issue. I am experiencing the same fraudulent activity. I will call PayPal as soon as possible to find a resolution. If they are on able to fix the issue with their security against users accounts then there is no reason for me to continue using PayPal. In fact I will close my PayPal account effective immediately. Hopefully they are able to resolve

if you have 3 Chase bank accounts,2 are linked to Paypal account and one is not.

The one which is not linkd have multiple debit transactions showing Paypal bla bla bla and you dont recognise them,then they are not coming from PAYPAL.

Someone could got hold of your bank account and made up these charges ,calling them Paypal so you would think these are Paypal transactions.

Do you use your phone to access bank website?

How is your security,could you have downloaded some malware which steals financil information when you use your phone to access y our bank account.

there is a name for such software,show it to your banker and ask him to investigate,it is not difficult for them to find out where does it come from?

Most banks clear transactions with each other via Fed Reserve system,they know where they come from,which bank,which account and who owns the account.

Sadly this had just happened to me as well. Has happened before as well. I have tried calling, and there is no way to even talk to anyone about it. They give you no option on this at all. I have even looked around on the internet to see what this could possibly be, and no one knows. I then tried sending a message to Paypal about this, but couldn't because there isn't a transaction number for this. I know completely that Paypal knows exactly what they are doing, this is why they pull from the bank account and make sure there is no way anyone can contact them about this. There seems to be no imformation no where on this, unless I missed it somewhere. But I won't stress myself over it anymore, just going to cancel my account. They have lost my trust. This is money I work hard for and for it to be taken like this, especially with no explanation. I don't think so.

This happened to me as well however it's in the form of a PayPal eCheck in the amount of $72.99. The eCheck hit both my primary Chase account and my daughter's high school checking account. I'm not sure if it's Chase or PayPal but I may have to close both accounts.
