Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending the PayPal LLC scam invoice below to potential victims asking them to call 860-400-9674, a fake PayPal customer service telephone number. If the same telephone is called, a scammer will answer pretending to be from PayPal. The scammer will attempt to trick their potential victims into disclosing their account credentials, personal and financial information, which will be used fraudulently.

My wife got this scam. She doesn't have a PayPal account but I do, and in the past she gets some of my emails. She sent it to me and I brought it up. I selected Cancel invoice and it said I had to log into PayPal. I did, obviously saw no $500 invoice activity. I use PayPal rarely so I removed my payment method.I know you mentioned they want you to call, but did the Cancel invoice option that made me log in let them seem information? Is that another way to do that? Please advise. Thanks.
