Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Geek Squad billing scam below is being sent by scammers attempting to frighten and trick potential victims into calling them at 1 (833) 857-0444, which is a fake PayPal customer support telephone number. Therefore, recipients of the fake email invoice are asked not to follow the instructions in it. They should just delete it. Those who have been tricked into disclosing financial information by the PayPal Geek Squad scam, are asked to contact their bank for help.
