Paypal scam

[Beekay]

I got 2 small deposits in my paypal from somebody I never sold a item to..It looked fishy so I opened 2 new emails and sent them a email asking why they send me 2 small deposits...No respond....But I did notice once I logged out I couldnt log back in on 2 emails....I think somebody is doin this to get access to your paypal account...Do anybody know about this type of scam???

Yea it do....First thing I said was how they get my email...I did notice someone buy a item then ask for a refund about 2 weeks ago....When you get a refund the seller email is in the refund part under they name...Something is strange for sure...You think I should get all my money out the account and dont use it again???

This a new account...I was bout to withdraw until I saw those deposits...I never kerp money in my paypal lol...Just wondering if I should continue to us the account...

2 small deposits? Did they go back out? Sounds like somebody is adding a bank account to your PP.. which would be very bad.

Makes sense OP - seems like someone has logged into to your pp to verify with a bank account of their own...

Does the bank account on your pp show up as one you know?

No bank is uodated...The person sent me 2 deposit for same amount. The sent cents as if they was paying me something. No new bank is listed so I doubt they got in...Look like somebody can get access to your email if you email them because open 3 email to contact the person and 2 of them After loggin out I cant logo back into those dummy emails

Hmmm.... this doesn't make sense.

So:

1. You got 2 deposits into your PAYPAL balance ?
2. Your eBay AND PP accounts were used to buy some random stuff from another eBayer? Correct?

If this is the case your account was hacked and there should be a record what IP it was.

If I were you, I wouldn't toss the account I'd:

1. Check if there's a secondary email / phone / bank / CC anything that's not yours in both accounts.

2. withdraw all money to your bank account immediately

3. Contact the seller what address was used to ship the items

4. change ALL your email, passwords, phone number on your accounts.
If you never did this before, ask us how because you can't just change everything abruptly.

password may have been changed but it is still a valid email address.
One possible use of your email address is to send you a phony Paypal email to that address,if they know your name ,thats even better =
