Ereas ♔ (@ereas_kaanta) reported@Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal I had the same problem as you a few months ago, for a smaller amount, but neither VGen nor PayPal helped me. The scammer got away with it and received his money back.

Jean-Philippe Lebœuf (@jpleboeuf) reportedTried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

Peinlicher Pimmelprimat Jonas Thunecke 🐵🐒😵💫🤪 (@beastiebearpig) reported@klose_alfred @tc_xcx @tc_xcx do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he told me he'd spoil me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

Ali🦉 (@bulkaree) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal Please restart your operations in Türkiye. We don't want to deal with @Payoneer, which charges exorbitant fees and causes problems.

Glenn 🇺🇲⚓️ (@gcanderson57) reported@OldGloryBank @johnrich Is there any sort of service you guys have or can create to help her. She's always used PayPal in the past, however I suspect like everything else now days her problem is being caused by an AI.

Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) reportedCONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

Ronnie Irby - Crazy Cajun (@RonnieIrby1951) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!
