Helloworld inc deposit

I just got a email saying I had 500 put in my paypal account from a helloworld inc.....idk what it is or if it's real or a scam. Does anyone know

Did you actually use the $500 with no issue??? I hate that it is attached to something I have all my banking on and they cannot be contacted.  Seems like a scam but the email came from  service at paypal and when I google I see where it happened to others but nothing about a scam just speculation that it is. 

Can you update how you handled the $500 please?

Same thing happened to me as well. I did not get through to PayPal yet for their comment on it. Has anyone kept the money? If not how did you get rid of it?

I was confused as well! I just found it it’s from PayPal’s everyday sweepstakes running from nov to dec for using your PayPal business debit card. Each time you use your card you get an entry. Awesome we won without knowing! Congrats!

I received this as well, but I do not have a PayPal card? I reached out to PayPal to see how to refund the payment (after many attempts to get customer support) and there is no option for a refund at all on the payment.

I have found it’s from PayPal’s sweep stakes for 2020 end of the year. Google PayPal sweep stakes all the information is there!

Hi everyone. I too got the $500 deposit from helloworld inc. you received it from a lotto drawing. Every time someone sends you Money you are automatically entered. It is 100% legit. Congratulations

Was it legit? I got the same thing. Received an email and checked my PayPal... the $500 is still there. I didn't do anything with it. Not sure if it's a scam.
