Received a PayPal request yesterday from a Joan Dyer same $299 amount. Canceled request, forwarded email data to PayPal Phishing as well as the State and Federal bureaus which track and pursue this type of fraud.

I would like to confirm that this scam is still happening as I too got a request for $299.99 from a John William for a fraudulent charge of "MS Office 365". I canceled the charge in my PayPal account and contacted PayPal customer service to report fraud. Called the phone number the scammers provided to give them a piece of my mind and it doesn't connect at all, immediately ended the call.

Just cancel the money request and open a message chat with PayPal to report the money request, including the transaction ID# so that they can trace it. Hope this helps. I recieved this bs this morning.
