Payment to Coinbase Global, Inc

[kibblemom]

I received an email titled "You've sent a payment" which included the statement: "Your Payment was sent to Coinbase Global in exchange for 0.014 Bitcoin. Thank You for using PayPal to complete your purchase of $649.99. Please note that the transaction may take up to 72 hours to reflect on your bank statement." It listed PayPal Support at: [Removed. Phone #s not permitted]which is not in the typical US format and does not correspond to the number on the PayPal site, so I'm thinking this is a scam. There is nothing listed as recent or pending in my PayPal account corresponding to this purchase, which I definitely did not make. The return address is a gmail account. Has anyone else received something like this and do I need to be concerned for my PayPal account? There are no links to click and I obviously haven't called the phone number.

Can anyone confirm if they had an attached pdf? I received the same email today. I opened the pdf but didn't call or click on any of the links. 

What happens to this scam? What happens after this? I am anxious. HELP!!!!

Hi Everyone! 

Thanks for visiting PayPal's Community Forum. I can understand how receiving this kind of notification can be a bit confusing. Thank you @kernowlass for your help on this thread. 

Welcome and Thank you for posting your concern. Kindly check your PayPal account to see transactions to verify the transactions mentioned in the email notification. If you do not see a transaction on your PayPal activity like the one referenced in the email, it's most likely that email was not from PayPal. Also, please reach out to customer support by log in to your PayPal account and do not use the contact details mentioned in the email. Here's a great Help Center article on How to spot fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal emails or websites. and What are common scams and how do I spot them?

You can also reach out to our customer support team to know what can be done next or to get an understanding of the possible solution to the issue raised. Please reach out to the Support Team during business hours by clicking the Contact option at the bottom of PayPal page.

Hope this information is helpful for your!

Warm Regards,

Shradha

I've gotten two "Invoices" via a legit PP email for $799, then they bumped it up to $1399.

Reported / forwarded both emails to phishing@paypal.com

Jeez!
