I got an email from [Removed], is this really true PayPal? Suddenly I got an invoice from PayPal $780, even though I never made a purchase

[Removed]

I opened the link in the incognito tab, and the bill is not in my email name. Why is it like that? is this a scam?

[Removed]

What should I do?

Hey @darylkurniawan

 

Thank you for your post. 

 

From your post, I understand you have received an email from PayPal regarding an invoice and you would like some clarity with this. If you believe the email or invoice is fake, don’t click on any links; please forward it to us. The email you can forward this to is: phishing@paypal.com. You wouldn't be charged if you didn’t purchase the item in question. 
 

In some cases, you can cancel a received invoice. However, if you can’t, we ask that you disregard the invoice and forward the email you received to us. PayPal is working on deleting invoices that were created by bad actors.


For more information on spotting a spoof email, see: How do I spot and report a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
 

I hope this can help. 

Rebecca
