I received an email from [email protected] with the following content:

You have an invite from Payment Warning: A transaction of $891.27 to Gemini.com was detected. If this wasn’t you, please call (805) 500- 6710 to stop the payment. Protecting you from fraud is our priority.

Ready to get coding? Create a PayPal account to review the invite. (It expires in 30 days!)

There is no such transaction and I have not used PayPal in over a year. I did not engage with the sender, because this is obviously not a communication from PayPal.

I received an email that tried to make itself appear as if it was a PayPal bill invoice for a purchase of $500 in BTC. I don't fall for scams but I figured I'd report it since I was already here on the site and accidentally clicked Lookup a Scam instead of Lookup a Business

It was on my email and it said PayPal confirmation on charges for bitcoin and there’s several of them. I don’t know maybe five or six and I did send them to PayPal on their email phishing scams, but they said they bought bitcoins on my PayPal account, which I never lost any money and they never did it but they have phone numbers to call and I’m sure that’s where they get you but I did not respond to the emails or call the number that said if you did not make this transaction, please contact PayPal!

This morning March 6, 2025 I got an email from PayPal Customer Care claiming that an unauthorized payment was made on my PayPal account, and a number was given in this email for me to call the Security Team to resolve this issue. So I called and told the representative that I don’t have an account with PayPal but the representative named Brandon asked if I had $10,000 in the account and I told him “no” and then he hung up. An hour later, I called again to that same number (833) 442-3077 which I didn’t realize was a scam number. Another representative called Alex who asked me to follow his instructions given and then referred me to the account manager named John who asked me the name of the bank my accounts were so I could get a refund of $629.48. Before I was transferred, Alex asked to fill out a cancellation form and asked where Guam was and its population. So back to John, he said to go into my account to make the deposit and wait 30 minutes and then call back. I did not call back as I had a hunch that this was a scam.

This is the second time I received a PayPal receipt for crypto with a number to call if this is a mistake. No money has been taken out of my account. I suspect they are phishing.

Invoiced for $999.99 Scammer may have BCC’d me in an email claiming Apple and Florida Public Benefit Corporation has sent an invoice and if I do not act the money would be removed from my account automatically. I always check the To: and From: fields when I receive emails that want me to log into things. I noticed the email was showing sent to “[email protected]” The email itself when hovering over the links shows as if it’s a legitimate paypal site. However, the scam is most likely rooted in you attempting to log in via the wrong link or calling their number so they can get you to download some malware and control your computer. Always check the To: and From: fields and never directly open any links from your email. Always use the normal avenues of accessing your financial accounts and calling your bank directly from the number on your card or searching yourself.
