Hello,
I got 2 emails today - 1st saying "reminder you've still got a money request" and 2nd saying "invoice from Black Expo inc"
I don't recognise this as I haven't purchased anything and the email says it's for an item from Apple Store (again I didn't buy anything from apple store)
When I log in to my paypal account, this request is not there but the email is from service @ paypal . com which is a legitimate email so I'm worried that this will be somehow actually charged from my account. I forwarded these to phishing @ paypal . com but is there anything else I can do?
Another suspicious thing is that the email includes a phone number to call which after googling, I believe is not a paypal number
Any help or reassurance that this scam will not be charged from my account will be appreciated. Thank you

I got 2 emails exactly like the ones you got, except mine were regarding a company called A&M and Associates Inc & the "invoice" was for $999.99.
Like you I was a bit alarmed when I saw they appeared to come from service @ paypal . com. But I didn't click on any links. Instead, like you, I forwarded one of the emails to phishing @ paypal . com.
I'm going to change my paypal password just to be on the safe side.
