DISCOVER BANK

I had .10 cents taken out then $49.90. It came up online as picoart for free converting a picture which said free. then a fee of .10 was charged to Paypal, then $49.90. Paypal dispute was done, came back that they wasn't fraudulent. They are! I did NOT purchase anything! I have been on the phone with Paypal AFTER they "verified" that this wasn't fraud. I have been switched to 5 representative's now & still do NOT have this resolved. It put my discover bank acct in the negative of $43. If I wanted money to randomly be taken from my paypal acct, then my bank acct, why would I even have a paypal acct??? I thought paypal was to avoid SCAMS??!

My teenager made a payment arrangement for $3000 with this person who we just learned was impersonating another business. My child sent $800 via bank transfers before we figured it out. This person uses the business name GlitchFur Designs on Tiktok and goes by the username brightfur50. They also use the name Stark0997 on Telegram. They will instruct a person to send transfers to a different bank account each time and use the name Frank Zavala and Frank Zacala to receive funds. They used Bank of America, Discover Bank, and Green Dot Bank accounts. They communicated via Telegram. They initially impersonated a business called Hybrid Labs Fursuits which is located in France.
