It’s a scam. The money was sent to you using a stolen credit card. Then if you return it, it will go onto their personal card. Happened to my husband on his Venmo account which is owned by PayPal. He discovered the scam through a google search. The money is still sitting in his account.

My 89 yr old Mom was defrauded out of $200 from a company using Paypal. She doesn't have a paypal account but tbe company used paypal to process her order. She never received the goods and it is impossible to get Paypal to respond or to talk to anyone.

If she didn’t have a PayPal account she would have had to use a credit card. She should file a dispute with her credit card company.

NO, this has all the earmarks of a scam.

If you send them their money back, I believe that this will happen:
Soon after reimbursing them, your bank will realize that the initial deposit was a fraud. But your reimbursement was not. Therefore, you will loose your money that you "sent back", and the bank will at the same time remove their phony deposit from your account. My advice is to ignore everything and wait for the bank to remove their "mistake". In a year or two if that deposit still shows in your account, then I'd withdraw it and keep or spend it. |

There should have been a way to refuse the money in the beginning.

App users receive payments that can be several hundred dollars from an unknown account. The user is then contacted by the account holder who claims they sent the money “by accident” and request the money be sent back. The BBB says in some cases the initial payment came from a stolen credit card. When the money is returned the scammer replaces the information from the stolen card with their legitimate account information. Since the initial payment was stolen, the card owner may become aware and cancel the payment, meaning that amount of money will be removed from your account. |
