I have received an email recently asking me to help them transfer money. An amount will be sent to my paypal account, withdraw it and send it to Ukraine via Western Union. I'm only new in this online thing and I was so sorry for my self that I haven't check before dealing with that person whoever he is. Now, I have a negative $479.24 in my account and I don't know how to refund the person whose account has been hacked and an unauthorized claim dispute is filed against my account in paypal. My account is verified with a visa debit link to it. What is the best thing to do about this? Any insight will be much appreciated! thank you!

Ukraine Scammers Using Paypal and Western Union or Money Gram Ukraine Scammer uses Paypal and Western Union Name: Sergey Voloshin Address: 42-44 Shovkovychna St., Kiev, Ukraine 01601 Job posting site: Freelancer.com email address: jiw9@live.com He also scams via Cragslist and hires people to do some bypassing-job on sites, a real scammer! If he replies to after you applied, he will give his contact information via a zipped folder so the job site will not detect him. He will ask you to email him then he will email his skype or yahoo ID on. He will offer you 5%-20% or more of the money he will send/steal. He will use other person's PP account then send you money then let you withdraw it and send it to you via Western Union. After which he will file dispute to paypal and paypal pays him refund - so he has double money! Then you will have negative balance on your Paypal. Or He has stolen credit card or hack paypal accounts to send money and use other people's account. When the time comes the original owner finds out about the unauthorized payment, then you will have negative balance on your PP because Paypal will side on the customer and refund them. Or He has some accomplice on US who are also scammer owning Paypal account. That way, he receives the money and the accomplice receives the Paypal refund, so that turns out to be their real income the refund. Or If the real owner of the hacked the Paypal account still doesn't know what happened and was not checking her account often, then they will be the one handling the account then and receiving the refunds. So that's the double dirty money comes from! They get the physical money and they get the refund! When the real owner comes in and complain to paypal, well, she gets nothing because they get everything already. So therefore, you are blindly working as his accomplice which makes the whole thing worst! Doing bad even you don't intend to do bad and being used by bad people to steal money. Karma. That's what these scammers should wait for. Kiss your ass scammers!
I am from the Philippines and I also experience the same. Since I don't wanna pay the amount that scammers took from me I just leave my paypal with negative balance and now its already unverified. The bad thing here is it's the victim who suffered and paypal doesn't really care...
I sold the item on ebay and the buyer who bought was hacked so I sold the item to the wrong person and shipped it to him and now paypal asks me for refund even I have all the evidence and proofs that I sold the item and that I shipped the item. Really pathetic this paypal system sucks and doesn't protect at all!
The scammers are hot and heavy. I received an email that looked like paypal, asking me to confirm my contact information. I called paypal and confirmed it was a scam. People trying to get my information.
I would suggest you to call PayPal helpline numbers before stepping ahead. Many scammers and hackers are doing these things to earn, so beware.
