PSA Beware!


Be aware--If you are still naive enough to use PayPal they will allow scammers with your email and address to steal money from you.
All of my information was in a data breach by AT&T in March of this year. It included my full Name, SSN, date of birth, address, email, password, etc. I have been dealing with fraud since them on multiple fronts, including them stealing from my savings account, false charges, changing log ins, passwords, and recovery information on multiple accounts, and most distressing, changing the auto deposit on my social security check.
There were six charges in one day on my PayPal account amounting to almost $610. I have never made that many charges in one day in over 20 years of using PayPal. I disputed the charges and their response was that since I had used that email and address on other charges they were valid. Duh! Required information for PayPal.

After that, I disputed with Citicard which was my default payment method as I thought that protected me from fraud. Wrong. Citicard bought their bullshit and I got a charge for something called Mint Mobile.
Both accounts are now closed. Don't take a chance.
One of the charges at least came from someone at Sewing Parts Online in Dickenson, Tennessee, because the woman who tried a recurring monthly charge to my account used a delivery tracking number from them.
Be aware. Elder abuse and theft is being aided and abetted by PayPal and Citibank!
The US election this week was the cherry on top!😡
