Scam Description
Text stating Pay Pal Scam contact them and they will refund $369
When the process was almost complete I missed typed $3,699
They made me feel I was responsible so they sent me to there Sponcers and purchase Target Gift Cards
$500 each I worked 12 hr shifts at night and was fixing to take a nap before work when they frightened me into action without me having time to clear my mind
Days later I got a email from Pay Pal stating to call them about the $369 transaction which the damage was already done
If it wasn”t for my banks recognizing and sending warnings I would be out a lot more
The kept me in an urgent frenzy
