Just last year, we saw a bunch of people reporting about some fishy-looking charge on their credit card statement, which most of the time read like “7700 Eastport Parkway.” And sure enough, some did their own due diligence and thought of it as just a misspelling of “7700 Eastport Pkwy,” an address in La Vista, Nebraska, associated with PayPal. Though, is this the case or is this 7700 Eastport Parkway charge a scam and you need to take action against it? Well, yes, it is actually from PayPal, and just so you know, this address is one of PayPal’s office locations. There could be some reasons why this charge with this specific label is appearing on your credit card statement. So, let’s just find that out, shall we?
First Of All, How to Verify the Charge
How about a legitimate way to confirm this charge on your own? Here:
First, we’d like you to log into your PayPal account and check for transactions around the date of the charge when it appeared on your credit card statement. It’s simple actually, just look for any merchant purchase that you made around that time.
And sure enough, contact the merchant if you remember the purchase, and ask if it was processed through PayPal, that would just straight up confirm it. The reference number of the transaction may help here, so keep an eye out for that.
What to Do If It’s Unfamiliar or Suspicious
Let’s say, you still don’t recognize this charge, what then? Well, here is something you can do:
- First of all, just contact your bank people or the credit card company right away and let them know about your situation. And they can surely help you understand what it is or whether it is fraudulent or not. Simple!
- Your next step should be to file a dispute with PayPal if you truly believe that this transaction wasn’t done from your end.
- And then, yes, we’d certainly recommend that you change your PayPal account password if you don’t want this to happen to you once again.
Yes, there are so many people complaining out there that this is a scam or fraud charge and they don’t remember doing any such transaction. That’s mainly because they don’t understand what the label of this charge actually means, but now YOU do. Right? Keep in mind though, the main headquarters of PayPal is actually in San Jose, California. So? Well, they have many other offices throughout the country, and one is also down there at 7700 Eastport Pkwy in Nebraska. And? Well, nothing, it is just an indication that this office down there must be responsible for the processing of your payment at the time period and that’s precisely why you’re seeing that charge appear on your credit card statement.
And no, it isn’t 7700 EA Sport, it is actually Eastport Parkway, which is an actual address down there in Nebraska. We saw many people confusing these two, but that’s now the case. Alright, we hope that now all your doubts are clear about this charge.
