I received an email from PayPal today about how they are dealing with covid19 but before theirs I received another and I think as ceo of PayPal you should let your consumers know there is a scam going on using your PayPal name being sent to all your customers! If they click the link or fill in the information requested then they will be robbed for their identity and finances that can now be accessed!! Always someone out there trying to do something bad in times like this. As I don’t want to infect my computer or have anything else happen I won’t send the link but am sure you can find it. Thanks again

These 'spoof' or 'phishing' emails have been ongoing since Paypals inception.
Plus banks / card companies and lots of others have the same issue.
