2 yearsDefinately a scam, watch out!2 yearsTotal scammers, watch out!4 yearsWatch out, this is definitely a scam! I got an email that looked just like it was from PayPal, but it was fake. They were asking for my bank info, claiming it was to verify a purchase I supposedly made on a camera through my PayPal. Don't fall for it!PayPal4 yearsHere’s how you can get in touch with the cyber crime police to report fraud. If those dodgy scams, which prey on vulnerable people and annoy the rest of us, don’t get reported, the police won’t be able to do much about them. I once emailed one of those scam messages to this address: '[email protected]' and got a reply with some stats. They told me they’d dealt with around 15 million scam attempts and took down 105,000 scams spanning over 192,000 URLs since the setup. Makes you wonder how many more they could tackle if everyone reported every scam they get.4 yearsIn the past couple of days, I've seen this number linked to a couple of bogus emails, one supposedly from Amazon and the other claiming to be from Paypal.PayPalAmazon4 yearsGot an email pretending to be from Amazon using the number [+116-504-7374], saying I'd bought a £500 iPhone. Didn't ring them back, seemed dodgy.Amazon4 yearsGot an email that looked like it was from Amazon, saying I needed to contact them about a refund. Definitely don’t ring back or click any links in it - total spam!Amazon4 yearsGot an email supposedly confirming my order for three Minolta 20.0 Megapixel Bridge Cameras at £129.99 each, supposedly from Target Inc. through Paypal. No links included, just a random Leicester phone number. If you ring that number, watch out for the scam they’re trying to pull - check out the comment above where someone phoned them and acted like they were falling for it. Quite the warning!Target Inc.PayPal.Leicester4 yearsToday I got hit with a couple of these dodgy emails, so watch out and don’t fall for it. There’s heaps in the message that screams scam, just be careful. It looks something like this: “Dear Customer, Thank you for your purchase from Target Inc. online. Your order dated 21 December 2022 is being prepared and will be shipped soon using standard delivery. A payment of £129.99 was taken from your available PayPal credit and will show up on your statement shortly. Order details: Reference number: 942-9586154 Product: Minolta 20.0 Megapixel Bridge Camera Quantity: 3 Shipping: £20.00 Total: £129.99 If you did not make this order or want to cancel and get a refund, contact support right away. Support hotline: +44 116 504 7374 Regards,” Seriously, if you get this, don’t respond or click anything - it’s a classic scam trying to trick you.Target IncPãyPãlMinolta4 yearsJust like a few others here, I got a message saying 3 cameras were bought using my PayPal, which definitely isn’t true.4 yearsSame here. Someone said they bought 3 cameras using my PãyPãl account!PayPal4 yearsGot a dodgy call saying I’d bought three cameras from PayPal. Total scam, watch out!4 yearsJust like many have said, it’s a scam. They don’t actually ring you up first. Instead, you get an email with a receipt showing a phone number and you’re tricked into calling them because it looks like you bought something you actually didn’t. The aim is to get your bank info and empty your account. Seriously, don’t ring them back. Avoid it completely.4 yearsGot a couple of emails today from this number. One pretended to be from "PãyPãl" (yep, with weird foreign letters), and the other was supposedly from "Target". Total scam alert - they even say the number's "toll free", but it's not true at all. When you call back, they say they’ll "handle your refund", but really they’re just trying to steal everything you've got in your bank. Beware!4 yearsI had a similar experience. Pretty sure this number might be one of those that forwards you to a premium line or something. Wouldn't bother calling back myself.4 yearsI just got an email saying I purchased a Minolta camera, not once but twice, through PayPal. The number linked to the scammer in the email is +44 116 504 7374. The names on the email were something like Kelle T Strickland or Crystal J Holley. Quite fishy if you ask me!MinoltaPayPalKelle T StricklandCrystal J Holley4 yearsAvoid any links from them - this is a well known PayPal scam and it’s clearly run by some kind of crime group. Stay safe everyone!4 yearsNo doubt this is a scam.4 yearsBeware of this phone number, it’s a trick to get your bank info. They send an email saying your package is being sent and if you want to cancel for a refund, just ring 0116 504 7374. Don’t fall for it!4 yearsSomeone called me saying my PayPal account was used for a purchase I never made. They sounded really convincing and kept pushing me to verify my details, but I knew it was dodgy. Dodgy scammers trying to get your info through fake PayPal calls, watch out!PayPal4 yearsSo, I just noticed a weird charge of £229.99 on my account for a Minolta 20.0 Megapixel Bridge Camera I never bought - looks like some kind of PayPal scam. Really strange cause I have no idea where it came from!4 yearsI got this spam email about a PayPal buy that wasn't real, saying I purchased a camera for more than £200.4 yearsI never made any calls, but out of nowhere got a spam email about buying a PayPal camera. There were no links in it, just this phone number included.PayPal4 yearsI didn't get a call but rather an email coming from this number, supposedly for questions. They claim to be from Target Inc linked to a PayPal camera order!Target IncPayPal4 yearsGot an email saying I made a PayPal purchase, but it only had my email in it, no other info. Seems fishy to me.PayPal4 yearsLike a few others, I got an email saying I made some sort of purchase and had to ring this number to get a refund. Didn’t fall for it though, seemed proper dodgy from the start.4 yearsGot an email from this number instead of a call, asking about some queries. They claimed to be from Target Inc and mentioned buying a camera through Paypal.Target IncPayPal4 yearsJust like a few others have mentioned, I got an email on 19th December from this number, supposedly for 'inquiries'. It was a receipt from Target Inc about some camera bought through Paypal.Target Inc4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be PayPal. Definitely a scam, so I’ve already informed the police about it.4 yearsI got scammed by Target Inc., bought what I thought were cameras using PayPal, but turns out they were fake. Ended up with three of them! Absolutely dodgy.Target Inc.4 yearsJust like everyone else has said, it's one of those PayPal scams.PayPal4 yearsJust like a few others here, I called them back and told them I’m a witch who’s put a curse on him, saying his manhood will soon vanish. The accent sounded like Mumbai or somewhere in that area, so watch out for that. Definitely don’t click on any links they send you. Honestly, everyone should ring them up and give them a piece of their mind. If enough people gave them a proper roasting, maybe they’d finally get the hint. Sometimes relentless nagging can make someone rethink their job choices!Mumbai4 yearsI had the exact same thing, tried to buy a camera from Target and paid through PayPal.Target4 yearsLike many others here, I found notifications about three cameras supposedly bought through my PayPal account, which I definitely did not authorise.PayPal4 yearsJust got the exact same call moments ago.4 yearsI never made a call, but got this dodgy email pretending I bought something on PayPal for over £200. There weren’t any links or anything, just a phone number they wanted me to ring to supposedly get my money back. I didn’t bother calling them, obviously.4 yearsI got an email about a camera I supposedly bought and paid for through PayPal, but I never did. I even looked at my PayPal account to be sure, and there’s nothing there.PayPal4 yearsI had almost the exact same thing happen, supposedly about a Target camera purchase paid with PayPal. I gave them a ring and played along like I was interested. The guy claimed he was from PayPal, which was a laugh because the email address they used had nothing to do with PayPal at all. They then said I needed to download a form if I wanted to cancel the payment. I figured out straight away what was going down. He told me to enter “anydesk” on my computer, which instantly raised alarm bells. The AnyDesk site appeared with a big red download button, and I’m well aware what that software does. In case anyone is unaware, AnyDesk lets someone remotely log into your computer by sharing a numeric code. The person on the call would enter that code on their end and take full control, often locking files and insisting on payment to get them back. They asked me if I saw the red download button, and when I confirmed, they said to click it to get the form. That’s when I told them straight out, I work in IT, knew their game, and that this was a total scam. I wasn’t there for real, just curious to see their tactics. I even called the guy a rotten thief and said I wished I could do something about it. He hung up silently after that. Sounded like he had an Indian accent, like most of these scammers do.PayPalAnydeskSubmit Your Own Report (0116 504 7374)
