PayPal/credit card scam need advice
Yeah it looks like I was scammed ☹️. I made a purchase on 9/28 and used rewards $ from my CC through PayPal for the purchase . Fortunately it's only $40.98 . About an hour after the purchase I received an email from CC company asking if I made a purchase of $6.14 as they think it is fraudulent . I immediately started a fraud claim for the 6.14 as that was a charge against my CC vs rewards dollars .
My CC company closed/froze the account and is sending me a new card . So far so good but here's where it gets weird . When I was on the phone with CC company I questioned how do I get my rewards money back ? The woman I was speaking to was baffled by the question and said she had never dealt with that before . Her suggestion was wait a few days to see if the vendor comes through and ships what I ordered .
I have had no communication with the seller and I don't expect to hear anything from him . The scam email attached to the 6.14 charge is only one or two characters different than the sellers email so I believe both are scams . So do I go back to CC company to fight this ? Or do I start a dispute with PayPal ? I am thankful it's not a lot of money but it still pi$$es me off 😡. I am usually smarter than this but the bad guys got me this time .
