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!

You’re more than welcome! Someone told me about it and I just passed it on to you. Do you know less than 2 hours later, another one showed up from the “IRS” for $100? Cancelled that one too and then changed my password. Hasn’t happened since.

I received an invoice for something I have never requested. It's a $50 donation to an organization and PayPal won't let me dispute it. What do I do? Can I just ignore it?

Let me guess - WHO? I received it too and it won't let me dispute it either. Paypall if you read this this is an unsolicied request sent to users. Please remove these invalid invoices from out accounts

Yes! Hopefully PayPal figured it out and deletes the "invoice"

I contacted PayPal through Chat and they told me to block the person - funny thing - the person doesn't exist to block. I contacted them again - will update you when I know more.

Hi again, They are not being very helpful - I suggest you also IM them so they know I am not a one off instance of this fraudulaent scam request. I told them there was another member on the chat board that had also been charged. The Customer Service guy just keeps repeating himself. I have come back to him again stating this non exixtant person is using thier site for fraud, shouldn't he be able to do something on his end, since it has now been reported and I can't block a non-exitant person. Good Luck - if you see the invoice has moved down is is now 'pending'.

You aren't one-off. As of this moment, there are 28 pages about this issue. Is PayPal paying attention?

Solicitation for $50 from world health organization Invoice from Help Families Around The World-COVID-19 Relief Fund. Why did PayPal put this in my account? I do NOT want to pay this or have it in my account. I’ve tried messaging PayPal and had no luck whatsoever. I don’t pay solicitors
