402-935-2244 / 4029352244

Got a charge from PP*SA ZO for $248. I think I know what's going on here. So PayPal has a service called "PayPal Here"...it's similar to Square in that it lets people/businesses have a transaction system for pretty low cost. Some smaller businesses use this app and iPad swipers to get your card info when you make a transaction with them. So there ARE legit businesses using this paypal service where the charge will show up as PP*(businessname). Someone earlier in the thread mentioned they had a charge from a coffee shop that had PP in the title. That would be legit. They are using the Paypal Here service for legitimate business transactions.The problem is, if you get your card info stolen, it appears that people are abusing the PayPal Here service to steal money. I'm guessing card numbers get skimmed and people take the info and make fake cards with your number on them and then swipe them into their PayPal Here app account to charge your card.Now why every number shows up as 4029352244 is still a question. PayPal's headquarters are located outside of Omaha, NE (area code 402) and I'm guessing that transactions must have a phone number attached to them. So the PayPal Here service attaches this 935-2244 number to every one of their transactions.Long story short...people are using skimmed numbers and abusing PayPal's small business transaction system "PayPal Here" to steal money from people under fake business names. I try and wiggle CC machines and gas station terminals to make sure there's no skimmer attached, but obviously my info got stolen somewhere. Possibly a restaurant where the card was out of my possession.

I think this is happening thru face book games. when you buy extra credits frfor your games and use your credit card number they have your number. Do not buy face book games for credit card numbers!!!@!

This number was linked to a fradulent charge on my debit card for $380.My bank is investigating.... Hopefully I get my money back.

04/11/2016 PAYPAL *GEEKDEAL $289.99 (402-935-2244). How are they still getting away with this?

Just found a charge for nearly $600 "through" PayPal for a company I HAD used, but phone number on transaction is this one, not real company's number.Transaction does not show on my PayPal account. Charges being disputed now at bank.

It's not just one person. If you read my post above yours, it says that I *think* that the phone number is attached to ALL Paypal Here transactions. The Paypal Here service is probably easy to exploit with stolen card numbers.

Received Fraudulent charges on my Wells Fargo credit card for $235. Before this charge I had used my card in San Antonio Texas. The charge was listed as manually entered on PayPal in Illinois. Wells is investigating.

$90 fraudulent charges to debit card while I was sleeping.

This was actually a legitimate charge but I also freaked when I saw it. It says Paypal, but the card charged was not my Paypal card. As it turned out, it was a kiosk in a mall that my husband had purchased and personalized a Xmas stocking. Don't know why they call themselves Paypal because that is so deceptive. Just to be clear: they didn't call me, but when I searched the phone number associated with the charge I came across all of these comments about fraudulent charges. Mine was actually legit.

Found a charge from two months ago to my Amex with the paypal name PP*MEAGANDIEME for $147.52. Called AMEX and they canceled the card, issued a new one and reversed the charge. I hope they find this A-hole and arrest them. This has happened through a fraudulent PP account through my bank as well - they charge a couple of little charges to see if they get caught and when they don't they start charging bigger charges. What everyone else says is true that when dialing the number you get a recording that says it cannot take voice messages....of course. I'm tired of this PayPal nonsense.
