Beware of phony PayPal invoice phishing scam email.

[Nomad]

I just received two emails claiming to be from PayPal informing me of invoices for over $600 charged to my account which I needed to pay. They even included a fake 1-800 customer service number to call if I wanted to cancel the charge.

Don't be fooled by this shit.

Very good advice.

I've gotten those.

I always ignore them.

In fact, I had my computer seize up a few months ago stating that the FBI did it and I had to call a number to get out of it because they had locked it.

Some of these scams are getting pretty intense.

Luckily resetting my computer fixed it.

Yeah, I regularly get scam texts and emails from Paypal, Venmo and Amazon Prime asking for my info. No bueno

I have received these PayPal emails in the past too, along with phony Amazon phishing emails too?!!

I forwarded them to phishing@paypal.com then sent them to my spam folder.

The latest scam I'm seeing is spammers making e-mail that pretend to be subscriptions to something like a newsletter. If you choose "unsubscribe" you just told the spammer your account is active and somebody is looking. You should dump these into spam directly. The subscription ploy is just a fake.
