scamming

In a discussion about online scams, one user recounted accidentally reporting another user's account for hacking after clicking a phishing link that compromised their own account. The apologizing user provided an email and suggested contacting Reddit Support via a Discord ID to appeal the report and clear the name of the targeted individual. The target noted they had previously been harassed by a troll over several months.

A user received an unexpected $400 payment via PayPal from an unknown sender, followed by threatening texts accusing them of scamming. The user discovered an unknown login to their PayPal account and has since changed their information, expressing fear of being falsely accused of fraud.
