Do You Have a Charge from 402-935-7733 via Paypal on Your Bank or Credit Card Statement? Here’s What’s Going On.

Wondering “Who the hell 402-935-7733 is”? You may be wondering who or what 402-935-7733 is if you have found it unexpectedly on your credit card or bank statement. If you’ve been reviewing your bank records or credit card statement and found what you believe to be an unauthorized charge that shows “Paypal” or the phone number 402-935-7733, take a deep breath, and relax. It may not be what you think, especially if what you think is that someone has hacked your bank account, or stolen your credit card.

How to Find the Email Address of a Buyer or Payer on Paypal

Every once in a while you may want to find a buyer’s email address on Paypal because for some reason the email notification you get from Paypal doesn’t have it. This is true, for example, when somebody uses your paypal.me link. Unlike nearly all other, if not all other, payment notifications which you get from Paypal, when somebody sends you money through your paypal.me link, the notification doesn’t include the payor’s email address. Now, of course, you can log into Paypal, go to “all transactions”, and search for the transaction, but that takes a whole bunch of steps, and is a hassle if you have to do it more than occasionally. Plus you can’t search for it by email address, because hey, if you had that you wouldn’t need to be searching! Here’s how to go directly to that transaction’s page and avoid a few steps.
