My wife received one from GoDaddy last week and unfortunately she paid it. Someone is making some money on this, not just PayPal. We opened a dispute about the scam with PayPal and guess what....response was "Based on our review, we found this transaction is consistent with your PayPal payment history." How can a company allow fake invoices to be created and not allow any recourse when people are scammed on their platform. Would be nice to see a "This is a scam invoice" button next to transactions so they can be easily reported when you spot them. I guess PayPal does not care as they get paid transaction fees no matter what happens. I logged a Consumer Report with the FTC about PayPal and its lack of responsibility around scams. They laughingly even list 24x7 Transaction Security and Fraud Prevention as something they do...NOT. The charge went direct to Credit Card, so I might try them next to see if they can do anything as the transaction was result of scam. Doubt they will as they likely will say PayPal is the problem.
