Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I was lured into a scam by people posing as PayPal XXXX  to satisfy a debt on a purchase I didnt make. They asked for location verification thru XXXX XXXX XXXX which I purchased, giving them the code on the back of the cards. They said a {$5000.00} loan had been provided to me from PayPal financed by XXXX and XXXX XXXX. To satisfy the fraud they said I was caught up in would involve the location verification, and loan closing fees of {$500.00} to each bank. They had me purchase a total of {$2400.00} in XXXX XXXX Cards, promising me all the while that this money would be transferred back into my Debit Account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. Once I had purchased the cards for them, I immediately lost contact with them. 
Once I lost contact I called PayPal customer service and was lured into another scam. This representative said he could refund the full {$2400.00} back into my account. He had me transfer {$3400.00} thru test XXXX Transfers to see if my account would receive a refund. The transfers were real not test Transfers and I lost that money also.

However, after I ended the call, my checking account was flagged by the Navy Federal Credit Union security department at XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I was unable to log in with my correct credentials and was left confused about the situation. 

The next day, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Navy customer service and was informed that I needed to speak to the security department. But the agent told me the wait time was two hours or more. She suggested that I go to the Navy Federal Credit Union local branch. When I went to the branch, I was told that they could not assist me with unlocking my account. The manager on duty could not provide an explanation about my locked account with their security department. She suggested that I call the security department after XXXX XXXX.
