No doubt others have sent false invocies in the past. That Paypal has a system that allows this and, at least as of now, is aware that it can result in fraudulent invoices makes for an interesting Class-Action suit. Also what is different about this one is how the "Cancel" button has been disabled somehow. The reps keep saying just to hit cancel, but for me and many others that does not work with this "invoice" it just takes you to a pdf page with the invoice on it, it never cancels it. That has never happened to me before so it looks like the scammers on this one have somehow gamed the system to stop the cancel from working. The bigger issue is PP not removing these once they are aware of the scam, notifying those that got it, and - in a perfect world - refunding the money of those that got scammed.
