Have you actually checked the email headers to see if it was in fact sent by Paxful? It could be a phishing attempt... ie. Scammer spoofs email from Paxful saying you've had a successful login and to "click here" if this was NOT you... "click here" link takes you to phishing site to try and get you to enter your Paxful login details.

If you have changed your password and/or locked the account... and you're still getting "Successful Login" emails, then chances are high they are just phishing emails.

To view the original message headers, open the message, click the '...' options button in the top-right corner of the message and then select "Show Original".

That's not the case at all, actually I have the same emails too from Paxful and my account has been compromised too with fairly reasonable passwords ( 17 characters )

Those are screenshots from the last login attempt from Paxful, I've already had like 5 different people access my account anyways, so I don't really care as the password isn't linked to any other social account I have.

I did not buy an account, I made an account there But after some time my account is logged by someone else, from another device and from other countries, I changed the password a few times later Now it is login in from other countries, so I think maybe it a scam by admin or involved management someone.

I there any chance that you have used a VPN to log into your account before?
What type of browser are you using?

I do not use any VPN, I create account 9month ago Since then, the problem started, Bangladesh legally do not support Paypal so I create this account. i use 'Google Chrome' browser.

this day 2 hour ago got another same login successful mail but it is not me, old mail my account is locked i just confused that, my account is hacked? or PAXFUL scam or fishing something?
my email is now ok, she do not try reset password she login same password, i can not believe that how to possible it.

I think OP will end up with red tag, because buying KYC verified accounts and selling KYC verified account is same crime. I am not getting OP point, what connection with OP and PAXFUL? I don't know much about them but I heard people's using that. I don't see much scam accusation against them. But why you had bought account? Perhaps it was hacked account or may be you might misuse it.

Can you clear that, did you bought account ? If not then why you have opened this thread?

As for Paxful, they have been allover the news lately because of the ongoing scandals. Avoid them at all costs
https://cointelegraph.com/news/nigeria-financial-watchdog-receives-petition-against-crypto-exchange-over-account-closures.

I updated that information few weeks ago in my hangout thread and did some investigations, asking questions from affected users on Twitter because it was trending as of then. what I found out was that the main reason behind the suspension of account was based on forcing their customers into verifying their identity through KYC due to the high rate of reported scam coming from the Nigeria community.

News are spreading that PaxfulNG is suspending accounts belonging to Nigeria therefore if you are using their services you're advise to transfer your coins to a more secure wallet especially if you're not ok with KYCs.

Link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5122338

Most of those that did the KYC and didn't violate their terms and conditions got their suspension remove although the manner in which paxful handled the issue by suspending users account without notice is the cause of the whole misunderstanding. But still, it's not safe to use the exchange.

Not sure how the user you posted is related to the paxful scandal, but he's obviously scammer claiming to sell a verified account, Newbie with no reputation whose account was just made to make the sale. Also, all his advertising threads are locked which is a very big red flag.
The Best thing to such chaps is to paint them Red and report their post. I have reported some of his posts.

As already said, I think local bitcoins is a much better platform than the less famous paxful. I have used it for almost 2 years now with not a single issue with my ID not yet even verified since am not a merchant.

I have used paxful only once and i got scammed by them, i sent bitcoins to my wallet and it happened to be sent to some scammers wallet, i emailed so many times this issue but they paid no attention. They are bunch of scammers who selectively scams people.I would advice people to use localbitcoins if they wanna buy/sell bitcoins, but these days that is also not much safe, finger crossed.

Did you buy Paxful account from him? I heard that Paxful will lock your account if there is suspicious activity from your account.

It seems that they are responding on their twitter.

I can't decide if the paxful is a scammer or not because there are some trusted members here recommend this P2P exchange but there also users telling that their account with a remaining balance locked without any reason.

Don't forget to move this to Scam Accusation.

What does the scammer have to do with Paxful? Did you bought that account from him?
If you did, chances that the account was already "flagged" by Paxful is high and that's why it had been blocked the moment you logged it in.

Better move this to reputation to be properly investigated by the DT.
