[QUOTE="Mayonnaise, post: 5054157, member: 76058"] There is a scam going on that is taking advantage of UPS and PayPal. Here’s what happened in my situation. A bogus company with a spoofed website billed my PayPal account for an item. After going through the check out process I suspected I was scammed. I immediately filed a claim with PayPal. The item supposedly was shipped through UPS and only due to the claim being filed through PayPal a tracking number was eventually provided to me by PayPal. The problem is when you track the package it showed shipping to my town and eventually was delivered to my town but not my address. Heres what eventually I figured out. These fraudulent companies are somehow graining access legit UPS tracking numbers and providing a tracking number for your town with a ship date that fits with when when your PayPal account was billed. PayPal is extremely difficult to deal with because they think you are the devious party in the transaction. After all the fraudulent company has provided a legit UPS tracking # to PayPal and it shows delivered to your town. I was able to print out full delivery records and provide them to PayPal for the shipment before it was even delivered. I provided this to PayPal. In my case there was also a major weight discrepancy from what the fraudulent company claimed they had shipped. PayPal said not good enough. After delivery I provided the delivery records once the package was delivered including GPS info. Funny thing is I actually had the 1lb package in my hand during the preload, prior to delivery, but it was someone else’s legit shipment. I also had to get my credit card company involved and provide them with the delivery records as well. PayPal is very apprehensive to believe you. It took a lot of back and forth and my transaction was only a single item. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
