I got the email too and although I'm not in IT I'm not exactly a tech dummy. This scared me enough to look up and call the actual Paypal phone #. What scared me is that it appears to come from the actual paypal email, has their logo, etc. I didn't send the email but hit reply to see what would come up and it does show [removed] but again I'm not in IT. Also the number it said to call (which I didn't) after googling was not associated with paypal. The email said Billing Department of PayPal updated your invoice ( PP66759989 ) Invoice updated Billing Department of PayPal updated your invoice Note from Billing Department of PayPal: There is evidence that your PayPal account has been accessed unlawfully. $600. 00 has been debited to your account for the Walmart eGift Card purchase. This transaction will appear in the automatically deducted amount on PayPal activity after 24 hours. If you suspect you did not make this transaction, immediately contact us at the toll-free number +1 (NOT PAYPAL PHONE #) or visit the PayPal Support Center area for assistance. Our Service Hours: (06:00 a. m. to 06:00 p. m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday) ------------------------------------------------------ I forwarded the email to [removed] and I hope everyone else does too. This is an easy scam for an unsuspecting person to fall pray to.
