For the last two days I’ve had two different people from a company called WEBROOT LLC try to send payment requests for $548.39 the first time and $579.40 the second time. I’ve never had any interaction with these people and believe that they are just scammers. I logged in to my account and canceled each request as they came in. Paypal gives you only 24 hours to dispute it and when you call the number Paypal dispute has given for contact it just clicks and goes back to dial tone. So i logged in and cancelled the requests and filed a complaint within their system. I’ve changed the password and security settings and set up 2 factor authentication. Hopefully this will fix it, if not, I’m closing that account.
My intent here is to caution others about what is going on so that they don’t get taken advantage of by these criminals.
