how do you remove an request for payment

[tomscot2]

I received a fraudulent invoice from Collene LLC in Wyoming (their is no such company listed by the Wyoming Secretary of State). 

How do I remove the request for payment from my activity?

I tried to start a dispute, but I haven't paid is so their was nothing to dispute as far as PayPal is concerned.

I can imagine this going to be increasing problem.

I figured I could deny or remove a scam request from the Android PayPal app, but it isn't clear how to do that, and I didn't want to accidentally approve of sending $1990 to some **bleep**, so I logged into the PayPal website. I still didn't see anything to cancel the request.

But in the footer from the email that was sent as a reminder that I had a money request, there was a link at the bottom of the page to decline the request, and I had to use that link to decline getting ripped off.

This link is not in the original money request email, just in the reminder email.

I certainly seems that PayPal could make declining a scam request a bit easier.

I had to go through my computer (not my iphone) to cancel the invoice.  I then called into customer service and reported the fraudulent invoice.  They have reported the account holder.  That is what I was told.

I decided to all PayPal Customer Service. They said that these scam invoices have a been big problem the last few days.

The solution:

Access the account with web browser.

Click on Activity

Click on Invoice

Click cancel invoice.

I wish this would have been an option when you click on the invoice that shows up on Dashboard view.

In order to cancel invoice, you have to send an email to the seller. Thus, the scammers are notified that they have connected with a "real" person.

Is there a way to delete it anonymously?
