Multiple emails: 1) Setting up a special account to buy crypto via PayPal, 2) Authorization codes sent to authorize account set up (even though I never initiated a setup), 3) sent "invoice" and said to contact them if any questions.

I never clicked any of the links, and went though my PayPal account to verify that none of these transactions/invoices had taken place.

I already have a PayPal account and a PayPal debit card and i receive all communication through the app so i know this is not legit.

I received an email from this person that looks like they are from PayPal saying that I purchased Norton Total Coverage Antivirus Plus software for $312.98 using my PayPal account. I checked my PayPal account and no activity is on it yet. They have a phone number to call to if you think this is fraudulent which is 818-612-1064. I think they want you to call to then try to give them your information. Just wanted to find out if others have reported this.

I also received one last week for PayPal saying I purchase Bit Coin for $449.88 using PayPal. Someone has my email and is trying to get me to contact them and I just ignore it.

I can forward these emails if helpful to your investigation.

There were clickable links within the email that redirected the receiver to a scam website made to look exactly like the PayPal website. Below is what was in the email that I received.
