Like this kind of scam happened to me thirteen years ago, I clicked on a link supposed to be "paypal" but the page kept loading longer than it was supposed to load, no page was opened, than next day I check my account, I found out that someone scheduled $1500.00 a month for twelve months, lucky I was, I contacted paypal and the told me to cancel all the scheduled payments, and change my password.
