A friend asked me on Facebook to receive a PayPal payment for them and bank transfer them the money, as they couldn't get their account to work. Once I had transferred the money the payment was marked as unorthorised and the money putting my PayPal account into negative funds. The situation is open for dispute but I don't know how to report that this is fraud
What annoyed me was the pep talks that go with the phone calls, believe me i wont get fooled again, I am still over a grand out of pocket, its been going on for nearly 2 years and PayPal, Facebook, action fraud and bank are no help at all
A lady paid me for my bed I had for sale through fb PayPal. The payment was pending in PayPal for a half an hour so the lady canceled payment. She never took the bed. The next day I woke up and the money was deposited to my bank account, but PayPal showed payment canceled. I called the lady and told her I was paid come pickup the bed. She said she already bought a bed from slumberland. So, she wanted a refund. I told her when I sell the bed I'll pay her. Because I had paid bills when the money cleared thinking she bought the bed. I don't know if the lady used a credit card that was stolen to pay me. I don't want to get her cash or the bed and have her cancel payment to me, and then I've been scammed. Is fb payment through PayPal legit?
