LinkedIn Ireland Fraud

[Ryanlilli]

My account was charged $64.99 CAD by LinkedIn Ireland. I filed a report through the Dispute Centre, however it came back that I had an arrangement set up. I DO NOT. How do I go about my refund AND review the arrangement that PayPal says I have in place? Due diligence was not completed here.

I had the same issue but I never had a credit card on my LinkedIn account nor is there any confirmation or authorization of me agreeing to this. There is no direct email for LinkedIn.  

I contacted PayPal and they said yes "we can confirm there is unauthorized activity on your account but since you did not purchase  PayPal Protection Coverage we cannot help you."

I am furious they know it is unauthorized so now I am filing a Police report for wire fraud against both PayPal and LinkedIn and I have no idea how they got my information as I do not have CreditCard or PayPal connected to LinkedIn as I never use it. I also thought PayPal was secure site so when there is situations like this it can be resolved now I have come to find out they don't. 

I contacted my CreditCard company. I also posted on Facebook and numerous people are have had issues with PayPal recently and their shady business practices.

I though PayPal was secure but more importantly I NEVER use LinkedIn and never authorized this its Fraud.

Hello I have had the exact same problem and got the exact same response from PayPal.

I was wondering how did you get on with your complaints?

I just had this issue! Have you had any help with it yet?

Hi - no help from PayPal at all.  I contacted LinkedIn directly and they immediately gave me my money back.  It is obviously a known problem to them.
