PayPal Stole My Money

ithelps · #1 01-15-2016

Okay so this time Paypal really did kind of steal my money. I got an email saying, don't forget to claim your money. So I logged on to my paypal only to find out that there is nothing in my paypal. No money pending. nothing. nada!!!

Clicked the link from my email. Confirmed with my password and then few minutes later, paypal gave me my money.

If I didn't see and read that email, i would have thought that this paypal had no money in it. I manage so much paypals, so paypal just stole from me if I didn't catch them. That was sneaky of paypal.

Have this ever happened to anyone?

I did not give them authority to borrow my money. I litteraly had no money pending, no activity and all of a sudden now I do. This transaction was done 3 weeks ago and the money was posted today january 15. WTF

If you are saying they took your money, yes they can do that and there's nothing you can do about it.

When you made that paypal account and pressed ENTER, you accepted their T&S.

You gave them freedom to do what they want.

This only happens when you do not confirm the email address on the paypal account, the funds sit in limbo until you do.

Then when you confirm your email address, the transactions will load on your paypal account.

That could had been the reason but I was 99% sure that the email was confirmed.

Are you just getting funds from randomly made paypal accounts then ditching them???

Something doesn't add up here...Did you recieve this payment from another account of yours?

I find it hard to imagine how anyone would receive funds and not check their account for 3 weeks until Paypal reversed the unclaimed payment.

Does this thread sound familiar?

cmbhuy · #9 01-16-2016

are you sure you didn't get scammed and phished? did the link you "entered" your password on actually paypal.com or some other website. why would you randomly get emails saying you receive payments.

ithelps · #10 01-16-2016

I didn't get scammed. The email came from paypal. After I confirmed my email, I got the money but I could had been 1% wrong and not confirmed my paypal.

I don't check my paypal since I have a lot. I am lucky that I saw the email otherwise the money would had been gone and I thought it was an empty paypal. Paypal didn't even bother to show what is pending and what is not. Now I don't even know the transaction date of the buyer, I would have to look via email.

Whatever, I got my money so that's all that matters but paypal basically woulda stole my money if i had not seen the email.

Please stop. The only person making the issues is you.

paypal has certain methods.

You use paypal so you need to understand them.

Adjust that business plan or sink.

It is YOUR fault for having all these issues. NOT PayPal. It is YOUR mistakes.

Learn how to use paypal correctly and your issues pretty much go away.
