Received an invoice and I have no idea what it's for

[KiritoFL]

I received a random invoice today for something that I supposedly ordered, and says payment due tomorrow 5/11. I don't see any cancel, reject, or mark as spam buttons on the invoice screen, should I be worried that funds might be automatically withdrawn from any of my payment sources? What can I do to get this fake invoice removed from my account?

me too! I think I might have mentioned the FBI!!!

Thank you! I found it and canceled the fake invoice.

I got the exact same thing today, 2 different invoices from different mails with the exact same message. The amount is 499$ and it says something about bitcoins which I have nothing to do with.

My problem is there is a big fat blue "Pay" button waiting to be clicked even accidentally, but there is no cancel button and most importantly now way to flag this as fraud or block the mail.

How is paypal even going to stop them if nobody can report them?

I just saw that you can cancel an invoice in the activity tab, thank you to the person who gave us the way, BUT if there is a "pay button" anywhere then there should be a cancel button too right next to it.

We need a cancel button and a block button and most importantly a report button!

Yeh I agree being able to cancel and report should be easier to find but the scary thing is how did they know we have papal accounts ? There must have been a data leak somewhere from PayPals system?

My guess is that the fraudster is using a list of known good e-mail addresses.  My e-mail address is my PayPal ID, and that's all that good ol' Trevor needed to create an invoice from his fraudster PayPal account.  When I started cancelling the invoice, there is no provision for reporting the invoice as a fraud attempt.  Any note about the cancellation is just a note to the fraudster who created the invoice.

I just got that same thing today, but it was $599!  I sent it to the Feds and then deleted it.

I got the same thing, it was addressed to "Chuck [removed]" in the email. That isn't my name. I canceled the invoice and wrote FAKE INVOICE - DO NOT PAY!

Hopefully, PayPal will flag this and find a way to remove it from our accounts.

Same here...got an email for an invoice from an EMily for 599.99 for a 1700 paypal credit payment for Crypto. I don't do crypto...invoice shows up as not found now although it still shows the invoice on my dashboarrd.

I got the same - there's a "cancel" option on the activity page link to the invoice - but it looks like that would send an email to the scammer - which just gives them more info for further phishing attempts - there really needs to be a report/delete button that doesn't confirm to the scammer that the email address they used is a valid paypal account.
