Hey world. Not sure if I'm the only one receiving this invoice but just got an invoice for $20.00 from something called the Respond Fund for World Solidarity from the World Health Organization. Paypal won't let me dispute this invoice nor would I presume the WHO would send dubious invoices for donations through Paypal so I'm assuming it's a scam. Just curious if this is being sent out to others. Thanks!

I finally got a response from PayPal, although in broken and improper English use. I was given instructions to "delete" invoice which cannot be done because the option does NOT exist, at least on my account. Was then told to just "ignore" and it would not hurt my "financials." The lack of security bothers me with PayPal. What bothers me even more is the lack of service and the inability to "fix" something that is clearly a SCAM.

I completely agree. At some point PayPal will have a liability if this continues. I’m wondering if we will see other fraudulent invoices?

I received an invoice from WHO for $35. I messaged customer support and here's their response to cancel the invoice.
Hope this helps!
Log in to your PayPal account.
Either find the request or invoice on your Summary page or click Activity.
Click Cancel next to it.
Click Yes to complete the cancellation.

DO NOT PAY IT IS A SCAM
So basically i just checked and it seems someone, somewhere, somehow must have gotten access to some e-mail addresses with Paypal accounts, and nowadays that is all you need to emit an invoice. Then of course they made the invoice "prettier" and linked it to the official sites of the WHO, but I am very confident that if you pay it will not go to WHO.
So to sum up, cancel it, report it and that is it.
TO SOLVE: on the youtube video below you can start on minute 2:00 if you just want to solve the issue, it will help you on how to cancel the invoice

Report this as a Scam on the official WHO site, and maybe to Paypal as well:

The scammers were savvy enough to rig/disable the cancel button for the invoice. Spoke with PayPal Customer Service, and here is the work around:
1) Access the invoice
2) Go to the URL address bar and place your cursor after the very last character in the address and type ?action=cancel
3) Click 'Enter'
4) A pop-up screen will appear and provide the option to cancel the invoice
5) Click the 'Cancel' button and you're all set!
