The truth was finally disclosed on February 1, 2022, when PayPal reported disappointing fourth quarter and full year results for 2021. At the same time, the Company was going to great lengths to keep inactive users and fake accounts on its platform, so its NNA numbers would remain inflated.
These cash payments led to the creation of millions of fraudulent accounts. These fraudulent accounts would provide no revenue to PayPal.Īs the complaint further notes, PayPal did not inform investors that many of the new accounts generated through its cash incentive marketing program, which were boosting its NNA numbers, were illusory. However, this marketing technique was susceptible to creation of fraudulent accounts by users looking only to receive the cash payment, and who had no intention of using PayPal as a digital payment platform. To achieve growth in its NNAs, however, PayPal was becoming increasingly reliant on cash marketing incentives, which induced subscribers to register for new accounts in exchange for a cash payment. PayPal earns a fee with each payment transaction, and thus the more active accountholders it could claim, the more revenues it could generate.
