I also received one. The name is Susanne Kyre MICRO r LLC 888-991-0612. Same amount: $399.99. I screenshot everything, blocked her and reported it to the phishing-paypal.com.
I just got this scam via email. The email says:Christine Lam sent you a money request.NOTE FROM Christine Lam:Your Payment of $399. 99 to TREND MICRO LLC appears to have been unauthorized. If you did not make this transaction contact us - 1(888) 972-0701There is an extra space after the amount of $399 and I have no idea who this person is and I googled it and it is coming up as a scam.
I received today and saw the payment request on my PayPal account. I am contacting PayPal to reject the request as fraud.
I just received one of these. The phone number was different than the one in the above post. The number on the email I received was 888-891-0032, incase anyone else has gotten one of these. Was on the phone w/ (the real) paypal to check on this but saw this post. Thank you. Will simply delete and block sender. Do I also need to change my PayPal password?RW
