Bad, Bad advice. Never, ever, give anyone access to your computer for ANY reason whatsoever. It is impossible to absolutely and accurately identify the person requesting access. ABC....you ought to be ashamed of yourself for giving very bad advice.

I get those fake emails all the time. I know it's a scam because I didn't buy anything so I shouldn't get a refund.

All of a sudden he gives them remote access to his device? This went from zero to incomprehensibly stupid really quickly.

Not really understanding how anybody could fall for something this ridiculous. Paypal is never going to handle any sort of discrepancy like that.

It's always somebody else fault. Nobody take responsibility any more for their own screw-ups.

What I don't understand is why ANYBODY would use PAYPAL FOR ANYTHING! I remember inquiring about it because something I was buying wanted me to use paypal. Well paypal wanted me to PAY THEM a monthly fee for the privilege of USING them to make a payment. Nope, not gonna happen!

Well PayPal is secure and has buyer protection and refunds you if you get scammed, unlike Cash App does not

This is my 2nd scam where I got an email saying my account would be debited in 24 hours. Knowing it was a scam, in my best hood-rat, loud and gutteral, ghetto voice, I cussed the rep out, their parents for having them and their children's children! Each time, they hang up, I call back and resume the cussing until I get a dial tone meaning they've blocked me! It feels good!

Almost happened to me. I called up the PayPal number listed on my email and the guy has an Indian or middle eastern accent and told me to fill out a refund - cancellation of transaction form....to me that doesn't sound right and I hung up. The googled for the PayPal real phone number and asked there were no transactions at all. Yeah ...not the same phone number.
