World Health Organization COVID Fund Invoice Scam

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!

Please be a little more vague. Wouldn't want anyone else following the exact same steps as you did. 🙄

That's the name on mine as well.  Very unsettling.

WOW.....the name doesn't appear on mine, and nobody has mentioned it before you. Sounds like somebody is using his name...he's an MMA fighter. and thats a very particular spelling. It may be that others are jumping on this, or that the person thats been doing it has **bleep** up.

Without a doubt Scammers are exploiting the lack or security in the PayPal invoice system, and PP have been truly caught out and are they are NOT doing anything to stop it. It shows me that they are just a mickey mouse company and by no means a bank

 

They could easily deploy measures to check the originator or scan the pdf invoice .

 

Hit Paypal where it hurts by ditching them

Did anyone notice the mention of a “charity” organization by the name of Baitulmaal? A quick internet search show this to be an organization in Texas that has been linked to the terrorist organization Hamas. Read this: https://www.meforum.org/7597/it-time-to-prosecute-terror-finance-again

I also got a $50 invoice for Covid from "Ronee Dixon" Once I pay off my PayPal credit I'm shutting down my account. This is ridiculous
