Blocking Invoices

Hi Community, I'm sure non of you know me but heres my story.

 

I sell digital goods via steam (CSGO Items) and receive payments via paypal. I get so many invoices daily where a user will try and convice me that a invoice is actually a digital good. I know better and just block them and report them to review paypal email. But is there any way you (Paypal) could make a feature that allows one to block invoices? or block invoices from people I haven't received or sent payments to? Any other additions or suggestions please post below. Don't flame or etc.

Included example screenshots..

As so many folks have been scammed using the invoice method scam i completely agree with you.

 

There should be something paypal could do to make this scam harder to do.

I'm really frustrated with the fact that anyone and everyone who wants to scam using PayPal, can do so easily and gets away with it so easily. To anyone who's posted my deepest sympathies. I really hope that this message can get around to save others from scamming

It's spam email, not really a PayPal invoice, so nothing for PayPal to block.  The e-mail isn't from PayPal.  I don't think there would be anything PayPal could do to prevent spoof e-mails.  Or, would there be a technical way?

Its not a spoof email, its an actual invoice that the person sending it has altered to make it look as if its been paid.

 

Invoice scam has been going for a while, checkout the link the OP posted on his thread.
