PayPal Norton 360 Protection Charge - A Scam? I just received an email from PayPal saying my purchase for Norton 360 Protection has been approved. The amount charged is $320.37. This has to be a scam, right? The number to call to dispute the charge is: [Removed. Phone #s not permitted]- I highly doubt that’s PayPal’s resolution center. Has anyone else received a similar email?

If its a spoof then NEVER USE ANY LINK OR ANY PHONE NUMBER.
Firstly if the email/text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.
Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.
Also if they ask you to call the number in the email then it would be fake paypal agents trying to scam you for money to 'fix' something.
If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email / download an attachment OR phone them on a number in an email, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.

Got an email this morning from a strange email account (rose henderson) who I do not know.... subject line Order Confirmation 7000-5JROP-G7SF. Had a 888 phone number attached, invoice.pdf said it was for Norton 360 protection... figure someone is phishing. Checked my paypal account, not charges.
