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!

My aunt got this. I told her it's phishing.

It’s not just an email it’s actually on my PayPal account I have to find the invoice

Yes, the fact that it's in our accounts is the most troubling- beyond phishing, paypal you have been hacked or you're promoting a very (recently) politicized organization.

how the hell does this even get into my PayPal? Was there a security breech that PayPal isn't telling us? I too received an invoice to pay 50.00 to this same phony fund.

I just got the same invoice
