Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam California

I signed up for a free Paypal account and nowhere did I enter my social security number or any portion thereof. I logged in the next morning to see Paypal had the last - digits of my social security number ( hereto referred to as SSN '' ) and that I had a credit line. I was alarmed and called Paypal to ask how they had my SSN, without me ever entering it, and was told they obtain it through my name, date of birth and street address. I was taken aback and asked about the credit line, to which I was told I signed up for PayPal Credit. No worries, she said, it was a soft pull and they could close it. I closed the credit line due to never signing up for it and closed my Paypal account due to them obtaining my SSN without my knowledge or consent. I had a feeling I was lied to and it was a hard pull so I checked and sure enough, it was a hard pull on my - report. I disputed the pull with - and was denied because Paypal insists it was a


this as my proof they were in fact signing people up for Paypal Credit without their knowledge or consent, I again asked for them to remove the hard pull from my - report. They again refused and asked me to forward the request to their Executive Escalations Team, to which I have not received any updates or response. Paypal signed me up for Paypal Credit, I did NOT apply for this service. I did NOT see anything informing me I was signing up for credit, when I signed up for regular Paypal. Their practices are deceptive and illegal. - confirmed Paypal only used my name, date of birth and street address to do the unauthorized hard pull. I want the hard pull removed from my credit report.
