Kim (@kimberyy_2004) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal I’m honestly so frustrated right now. I’ve been trying to use my PayPal account normally, but I’m suddenly having issues with my account and I can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ve tried contacting customer service and I’m still not getting a clear solution.
-
𝕆𝕞𝕒𝕣 (@o_w7jj) reportedI have $199 currently being held in my PayPal account. I’ve contacted support several times, but the issue has not been resolved yet. I’d really appreciate your help in reviewing my case and resolving it as soon as possible. Thank you @AskPayPal
-
John Wu (@topjohnwu) reported@dbrand @robot I can't seem to be able to purchase your products with PayPal. Website broken, or payment backend changed?

Alan XZ 🔞(COMMIS PAUSE) (@ALANExtraZone) reportedHey everyone, I’m going to have to put my commis on hold since PayPal and my bank are giving me some trouble. 🫠

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEvery complaint thread is a billable workflow nobody was claiming. Built Pinchloom to claim it. It scrapes public posts, drafts the n8n fix, pitches the prospect with a checkout link, and routes PayPal or card payments straight to the operator. Live soon.

Akshay Kumar (@AkshayP06) reportedI'm having trouble contacting you guys. I need a resolution regarding negative balance. My activity and balance aren't matching. @AskPayPal

Phil Mason (@Philo1000) reported@MacDoug1 @Rogers I had a similar issue with that scumbag company #Paypal but at least I finally got through to the Toronto office!
-
Ondrei (@lowstakesdre) reported@ShaneSchleger Nope. It’s 100% true. I called their customer care three times reporting the issue. Each time they told me they would correct the issue. I left the money in my PayPal account for months. I finally decided I wanted to earn interest on it so I moved it to my high yield savings account earmarked for PayPal.

DFIR Radar (@DFIR_Radar) reportedJWR, an undocumented PhaaS framework linked to Chinese-speaking actors, uses AES-CTR encrypted WebSockets to give operators live keystroke-by-keystroke control over victims across 44 fake Shopify, PayPal, Apple, and Klarna pages. - The client engine runs in two modes controlled by window.__HOST_MODE: Host Bridge (parent page relays commands into a phishing iframe via WebSocket at path webSocket/QT/{sessionId}/khkjsahfjkwhakjlsdwdddddd88) and Content Mode (Vue.js app rendering 44 phishing pages). Operators issue 40+ named commands (to_card, to_2fa, tip_change_card, to_success, etc.) to steer each victim session live. Final exfiltration POSTs the entire cvvform object to api/open/the_final_interface. - Data harvested goes far beyond card numbers: SSN, passport and driver license images, up to three sets of website credentials, PayPal login, card PIN, browser fingerprint (IP, language, timezone, geolocation, cookies), and OTP codes intercepted in real time before the victim even hits submit. - The active smishing campaign delivers JWR via SMS lures impersonating toll authorities and postal services targeting Singapore 🇸🇬 and UAE 🇦🇪 victims. Operator-facing dashboard messages are hardcoded in Simplified Chinese 🇨🇳, consistent with the broader Chinese-speaking PhaaS ecosystem. Talos assesses with medium confidence JWR is a variant of The Outsider, a PhaaS platform disrupted by FBI Operation Ghost Hook in June 2026. #DFIR_Radar

Robin Reynolds (@RobinvReynolds) reported@chelleyourself . What applies here are no less than 50 long-form investigative journalism articles of around 4,000 words each, at least most of which are reflected on my timeline right here and then over at my Substack spot. If you click on the link in my Bio it takes you right there. I had all those artkcles on my timeline in full but no one was supporting my efforts so I took them all off and moved them over to Substack behind a paywall. Whoever critiqued them said they were great but that was just a handful of people along the way. The engagement they got was demoralizing so I basically stopped leaving them on here. I still make them available for free here, usually for 24 hours before removing them but I might just stop doing that too, because it's all just steadily gone downhill to nothing. The critical turn came when I produced a series of articles targeting the Paypal Mafia and Elon Musk directly, and was also focusing on what amounts to organized crime activities being carried out in the White House, such as, "The Doge Scam" and "The Pardons Racket". After that I found myself locked in a vault, with my posts getting like 30-120 impressions max and close to zero engagement. They've been pulling all kinds of other ***** tricks too... I wrote a lot about it... some articles, mostly just smaller pieces, just about all of which I've dumped off my timeline since then. At one point I was just going to abandon this enterprise completely, whwereupon I went on a jag and dumped like 2,000 posts -- or more -- off the timeline. My goal was to just have a neat column of article ads redirecting interested parties over to Substack, but at the end of all that I just kept going, but definitely throttled down considerably. I don't know if you remember me... We crossed paths when I first got on here, and you and Subi-Doo gave me my first little leg up... I think at that point I had 0, then 5, then 40, then 100 followers. Then I joined SmokeFleet, as Gina Lola Brigida, -- that was good for 1,000 followers -- but eventually I reverted back to my own identity for what should be obvious reasons, considering I am in fact an author, and a journalist, and my name is basically my brand. Things went downhill drastically when I did, though, and have never really been the same since then. It's basically just gone downhill to nothing, it's just been awful. A lot of people have made me aware over time that the platform's been actively rigging the game against me, and I've seen -- and documented -- a lot of underhanded stuff myself. I don't know really what to do about any of that. I don't see that there's much you can do. I've seen what they can do if they want to amplify your voice. And I've seen what they can do if they determine they don't want you getting your message out. The difference between the two is breathtaking. Good to see you again, it's been awhile. What's going on with you? .
