Victim Location 79608
Total money lost $100
Type of a scam Tech Support
I received a letter that stated that I had opened an account and since I had not I googled "PayPal Help Line" at 1-855-665-8666. So when I called they asked me to buy $50 Google Play card because no other card would work. So I did and then I called to give them the number and PayPal stated that they had fixed the fraudulent activity and that they needed one more $50 Google Play card to close out my account. So when I gave them the card number PayPal stated that there was an error with the card and the "number got stuck in the reader" which I had the physical card in my hand which didnt make sense. They then asked for a 3rd card after that I said no more and discontinued contact with these people. Be wary of anyone asking for any type of gift cards as payment and make sure that you are contacting the correct phone numbers!!!!!
