So what did you do to remove it, I’ve already pressed the “cancel order” button

Do not press the “cancel order” button. It will ask for your ID and password. Do not enter it is a scam to get that information. If you have already done so, change your password on Paypal.com

I got the same email today. The email address it came from does not look legit at all. I don’t know if it’s some kind of setup if I hit the Cancel order button. The address it came from was a bunch of jumbled letters and numbers.

I agree, I hit the cancel order button & the website it’s trying to pull up is not legit so I got out of it quick. Hopefully nothing happens from that click

I did hit the "cancel order" button, but I also went to my Paypal account (which I do not keep money in) and then I checked my checking account, there IS NO SUCH TRANSACTION on my checking account. SCAM ALERT.

Recibí correo electrónico para un pago no autorizado, es un correo electrónico fraudulento y robo de identidad, no tengo pagos automáticamente para realizar, favor de verificar y cancelar esa transacción, ya muchas personas lo han reportado y es alarmante que esto esté sucediendo cuando PayPal es considerado como seguro y confiable para realizar cualquier tipo de transacción, me preocupa mucho esta situación, favor de tomar medidas de seguridad.

I got the email today. Frustrating as no only is it untrue, I can't reach anyone at PayPal; and from the looks of it no one else can it has either. Did anyone actually have funds taken from their checking account?

The email is a scam.
