The fake PayPal order confirmation email below, which claims the recipients have sent a payment to Coinbase Inc, and have the option of cancelling it, is a phishing scam. The fake email is being sent by cybercriminals to trick PayPal users into contacting them via the fake PayPal technical support telephone number 1 888-288-5211.

    I received this today: 14 Nov 2022 with Header: Reminder – You have paid an invoice.

    The text reads:

    Please pay your invoice

    Don't know this seller?

    You can safely ignore this invoice if you're not buying anything from this seller. PayPal won't ask you to call or send texts to phone numbers in an invoice. We don't ask for your credentials or auto-debit money from your account against any invoices. Contact us if you're still not sure.

    Reported to PayPal. B****y scammers.

    Received one of these today. The subject line was "Reminder - You have paid an invoice". The body of the email says "Please pay your invoice" and in the seller not to the customer "...you sent a payment of $449.00 USD to Coinbase Corporation"

    So, which is it; is my payment still due or have I already paid it? These guys really aren't that clever, are they? ;)

    I just got an email but it doesn't say it's from paypal although it does say it will show up as "PayPal Coin Base". It's kind of funny b/c it says the totally amount is $899.99 but then in another place it lists it as $809.7. It gives a different phone number. 808-300-5117. Which I think is a HawaiI code.

    This is the "address":

    San Jose Street 12, 34567 CA

    I got this same one in my Spam folder, exact same wording with PayPal's logo on 2/19/22! "Coinbase" & upwards of $800 being lied about. They'll keep going under new names...

  • February 2, 2022 at 9:21 AM by an anonymous user from: Lansing, Michigan, United States

    I got one today too and when I called they asked for my name and when I didn't give them my name a heavy accented jerk tried to get loud with me. I told him off and hung up. This is a scam.

  • February 1, 2022 at 2:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Athens, Ohio, United States

    Yep I got a Paypal-Coinbase purchase scam today via email from a sender I don't recognize. Don't call or reply!

    You might think our government would put these criminals in jail, but it may be that the criminals and our government s are one and the same

  • November 30, 2021 at 12:19 PM by an anonymous user from: Hampden, Holyoke, Massachusetts, United States

    Thank you for this info, I received an email the same as it is . And it's good I already closed my paypal account 3yrs ago already. It's really scary there is a lot of scam going on.

  • October 27, 2021 at 11:00 AM by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

    I called the phone number and someone answered but then it was dead air. Can they do something based on me just calling them?

    • October 28, 2021 at 8:36 AM by info

      No, you will have give them your details.

  • October 12, 2021 at 12:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Hillsborough, Tampa, Florida, United States

    Got one today from: roachh22@student.mursd.org

    from "Hayley Roach".

    What was worse I just started talking to a Hayley about an hour beforehand.

    So I thought I was being directly targeted. Yikes.

  • October 4, 2021 at 3:11 PM by an anonymous user from: Onslow, Jacksonville, North Carolina, United States

    I just spoke to Michelle at Paypal customer service and I am so relieved to know that this email is fake. I have wasted so much time and worry over this. I hope God punishes this criminal in ways he will never forget. Thanks-Lona

  • October 4, 2021 at 9:16 AM by an anonymous user from: Dallas, Richardson, Texas, United States

    The use a phony return email address and are never prosecuted by any government agency because it's simply too much trouble to go after the millions of tRUMP-like con-men who do this. May they all rot in h**l. Pay Pall could care less about these scams. They totally ignore them becuse they have absolutely no impact on their bottom line.

  • August 28, 2021 at 9:30 PM by an anonymous user from: Henniker, Weare, New Hampshire, United States

    I get 2 or 3 off these scam emails every week. I forward them all to PayPal but they continue.

  • August 12, 2021 at 6:35 PM by an anonymous user from: Phoenix, Arizona, United States

    I was told I'd "paid" over $1,250 using Coinbase. The mail, supposedly from PayPal, gave a San Jose address, only the city name was spelled "Sen Jose." The toll free number appearing in my email was 1-800-581-0480. Don't know how I could have paid that sum, given that I've never even heard of Coinbase up to now.

  • August 10, 2021 at 2:03 PM by an anonymous user from: Washington, Hagerstown, Maryland, United States

    Got same email today from andreal-smith@pgcpsorg0.onmicrosoft.com

    Very annoying!

  • August 6, 2021 at 1:30 PM by an anonymous user from: Hillsborough, Ruskin, Florida, United States

    received same email

  • August 1, 2021 at 9:09 AM by an anonymous user from: Lake Worth, Florida, United States

    I received this email today from luna.pena@uniminuto.edu.co

    I have had several other PayPal emails asking me to contact 888-288-5211 to update my information and unlock my account.

  • July 31, 2021 at 12:01 PM by an anonymous user from: DeKalb, Atlanta, Georgia, United States

    Got one today from ravi@effron.com. same wording

  • July 26, 2021 at 11:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Somerset, Bedminster, New Jersey, United States

    I just got one of these scam emails. It is awful that people try to upset others by doing pure evil. Don't they have something better to do with their time? It's pitiful.
