Type of a scam Phishing

I received an extremely convincing-looking email that appeared to be from PayPal. The email subject is "Your automatic payment is no longer active" and it goes on to describe an automatic payment of ¥4999.00 JPY for an iPhone 17 Pro Max 512 GB. There is a "note from seller" (claimed to be Apple) that states: "A transaction of ????????.???? USD was detected. If this wasn’t you, please call (??????) ??????-???????? to stop the payment." The email is clearly intended to get me to call that number. Having logged into PayPal, no such activity happened in my account. The PayPal website provides a way to forward phishing emails to them, so I did this.

Total money lost $351.24
Type of a scam Phishing

The email claimed that a charge of $351.24 was made to my account for a “Springfield Armory Gun” (I do not own any guns & I have not purchased any) and included a customer support number (860-321-8957) that does not appear to be officially associated with PayPal. The email also references a bill receipt number and invoice.

Additionally, the message was sent from a suspicious Gmail address ([email protected]), not an official PayPal domain, and the from name did not match the actual email address listed above. They also used a version of my mother's maiden last name, as the from name, which I am not including for obvious reasons.

Second time they do this. First time they took it from my debit card and I had to close my debit card and wait a week to get another one and now they come with the same thing again. I don’t have patience with thieves or criminals. I put a lot of them in jail before I retire.

Type of a scam Phishing

The scammer pretends to be an employee of PayPal and will ask you to give them a debit or credit card to stop the transaction from going through but there’s no previous transaction so they are stealing debit card numbers.

On Oct. 22, I received an email from ( [email protected] ), thanking me for my payment of $419.99 for Coin Base Inc. (0.018 BTC), which I never ordered, and I do not even know what it is(?). Attached was an invoice from PayPal, with a bottom note, "If you didn't authorize this payment, please call billing support at +1 (888) 811-2594." I do NOT have a PayPal account.

I deleted the email.
