Is it a letter or an email that you think might be a scam? Just making sure that it's not a premium rate number you're ringing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The joys of Paypal as a payment gateway thankfully. It always perplexes me why with all the protection that PayPal offers, that people still insist on sending money as gifts to avoid the small fee that PayPal charge. This is the exact reason that people should not send payment as a gift, glad you got your money back Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 was asked by the seller ,anyway today I get an e mail from pp after yesterday I reported the scam saying there was no unauthorised activity on my account ,what a joke ,so I sent then a rather irate reply and cancelled my account total joke no wonder the scammers are using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
