Spoofed into using my Paypal Account for Home working con - PayPal want money back

[walsallchap]

Hi there im just after some advice really....

 

a few months ago a friend of mine fell foul to consumer fraud

 

 

he responded to an ad on facebook looking for people to earn money by running a business from home

 

 

selling items for this person using an active ebay and paypal account that my friend had

 

to cut a long story short

the person who was selling them took the money via my friend

and did a bunk and not sending out the goods my friend didnt relise that

 

i had smelt a rat and told him to refund the money back

 

 

instead he didnt do so as he was doing to support his family thinking that it was genuine.

 

 

The person whom my friend tried to contact blocked my friend on facebook and didnt respond to questions

 

my friend reported it all on the action fraud website and

was advised to contact the buyers saying that they had all fallenforo consumer fraud and

 

 

now he is getting calls and voicemails from paypal asking him to call them to collect

and doesnt know what to do

 

please help me to help him thanks

Hi, I don't think this is the right section of CAG to get the best answer. A moderator will no doubt be along soon and move it so you can get the help you need.

are paypal aware of the actionfraud involvement?

if not tell them so.
