Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022, I contacted a person by the name of XXXX XXXX on an app called XXXX about purchasing a XXXX  Puffer Jacket. We moved our conversation to XXXX, where he sent me photos of the jacket and told me his email address. I paid him XXXX euros + XXXX euros for shipping. 

Two or three weeks later, I go to the post office to pick up the package. As soon as I picked up the package, I could tell there was not a puffer jacket in it. It weighed about 5 ounces. I opened the box and there was a wool liner shirt in the box. I contacted the seller on XXXX, and after about 6 messages he blocked me. 

I immediately filed a claim with Paypal. I thought it would be a simple case -- I had clear and convincing evidence that this person scammed me. I submitted all of my evidence to Paypal, and I paid {$20.00} to ship the wool shirt back to the exact address it was sent from. However, I did not take a picture of the return label -- because the clerk at XXXX typed in the address and affixed the label herself. 

Paypal ultimately denied my claim, despite the fact that I provided a tracking number, because I didn't show the address that I shipped the item to. They explained that the BUYER PROTECTION program is also meant to protect sellers who " accidentally ship the wrong item '' and would be harmed if the purchaser falsely shipped the item back -- which is completely logical... IF THE SELLER ACTUALLY SENT THE ITEM BY MISTAKE. But when the seller clearly ships a wool liner shirt instead of a {$1500.00} XXXX puffer jacket, then BLOCKS THE PURCHASER ON XXXX, it is beyond apparent that the transaction is fraudulent, and Paypal has a duty to its users to diligently and accurately investigate fraud on their platform, which they failed to do here. Paypal 's employees were extremely negligent in investigating this fraud claim and I've been harmed as a result.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I noticed a fraudulent charge for {$2000.00} at a caterer ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on my Chase Sapphire Reserve card while traveling in XXXX and immediately notified the Chase fraud department . The fraudulent charge occurred on XX/XX/XXXX The charge was removed and the chase fraud investigation team followed up with me in XXXX asking for my day timeline, and reassured me that the charge would likely be found fraudulent. Months later while looking through past bills, my wife noticed the charge had been reinstated on my account without any additional contact from Chase. 

I have followed up multiple times with the Chase fraud investigation team without success. The investigation team can not give the contact information for the alleged vendor ( some representatives have searched XXXX and suggested a vendor, which is not located near where I was on the day in question -- can confirm detailed day location with other charges and work badge history ). 

The fraud department has said to consider the charge fraudulent, requires me to contact the vendor, however they can not provide contact information. 

After multiple interactions with the fraud department. I attempted to contact the Chase executive office on XX/XX/XXXX by fax and via traditional mail ( they do not allow e-mail or phone contact ). I have not heard back. 

I have included a copy of the letter I sent the executive office, which contains detailed schedule for the day and additional context. 

Thank you!
