Fake email after a phone call

I’m being plagued with spoof PayPal emails. They always follow any contact I have with PayPal. I’m concerned I had a spoof mail directly following a PHONE CALL with PayPal! How can that be? As anyone else had this? Is the system corrupt or the phone operators? PayPal won’t/ haven’t replied..

Hi MrMcGoohan,

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community!

 

In general, you would receive an email notification every time an update is made on your account, whether it is a minor change or a transaction confirmation. 

 

If you receive multiple fake emails, your best option would be to run an antivirus scan and check whether your device might have been compromised. Here is how to spot fake emails: http://bit.ly/2yW72Ad.

 

Hope this helps!
