Received an email claiming a fraudulent charge to PayPal account?

Has anyone else received an email notice and phone out of Honolulu HI, with message saying there is a charge to your account? In this case it was a iPhone 15 Pro Max for $1329.49. Some woman answered the phone claiming to be PayPal Support Center. When I inquired to repeat the agency name again, she hung up. Calling back got no verbal response. But that's the email and phone number in the email message.

E-mail stated I had placed an order for Theft Security for all devices and is through The Geek Squad Protection.  Total charge $576.20.

phone number showed it was from Hawaii phone number.

Yeah just about same here. Same phone destination too, Honolulu, HI. When I saw the domain, I thought something strange and transferred it to my SPAM Folder which would block any thing upon opening the email. Yeap, scam. Good catch!
