PayPal Holdings, Inc. Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

PayPal Holdings, Inc. Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Michigan

I had a Paypal account and an additional credit account that was originally called Bill Me Later, was added to my account. These accounts were eventually merged and just became a credit account on my Paypal account. After years of never using it, I received an email from Paypal that a charge was made on my account. Within 24 hours and actually within the same business day, I contacted Paypal via email and phone to tell them that I did not make any charges and any charge made had to be fraudulent. 24 hours later they contacted me to basically tell me " to bad '' stating that I authorized it. I disputed the charge again when the bill came. They again denied the claim providing a tracking number and proof of delivery from the company that made the charge. I investigated the tracking number and not only was the package not delivered, it is n't even for my address, clearly showing the entire transaction is fraudulent. The charge is also from a company that operates outside of the United States, sells illegal products that is totally against Paypal own policy and is clearly a front for fraudulent activity. I provided this information to Paypal and they still refuse to remove the charge when they could have stopped the entire transaction long before anything could have been shipped. They refuse to communicate with me and remove a charge that I have clearly shown is fraudulent and they have left me no other recourse of action that to escalate the situation outside of Paypal.
