He had a different email trying to hack my pay pal account. Had the last 4 of my ssn. He knew my address and email. He claimed to be from PayPal.

PayPal invoice phishing scam

They sent me an invoice through PayPal. I have not bought anything and have not used PayPal for over 3 years.

I received an email stating someone had used $411 on a transaction from my PayPal account. This was not me, I called the number below on the receipt to speak with someone. I spoke with a man. I explained my situation telling him the transaction was not mine. He went through many steps telling me to download an app to screen share so he could see the transactions. We found other people using my account and said they were getting a technical support team to track them down. As they did that, he told me we were doing “dummy transactions”. We went to cash app and made many transactions(total of $720) to see if the other scammers were online to see my purchases. These transactions were to bitcoin. I asked if my money was safe since it had been withdrawn from my bank account and he proceeded to say yes. The money had not been taken from my account it was “pending”. When I proceeded to tell him I did not want to finish the transaction and I wanted the money back on my card he started to yell and tell me my money was not gone and he did not understand why I wasn’t listening to him. The money has been taken off my card and I have my bank, cash app, and PayPal.

- Reynolds Station, KY, USA

I used my personal credit card for the transaction but the sent me a receipt from PayPal the payment I made was not linked to PayPal in any way. The credit card statement even says PayPal with PayPal’s phone number but there is no record of the transaction at PayPal

I received an email stating that $329 was going to be taken off of my PayPal card and to cancel it within 24hrrs call this number. I called and no one answered but someone called me back from (208) 400-8538 and they had me Google my ip and give them the last 4 numbers. Then they had me connect them to my phone where they had me scroll through my phone when they asked me to open my cashapp app so that they could check to see if I had any unknown charges on there. I told them that I didn't have any but he kept insisting that I open it anyways, I explained to him that I didn't feel comfortable opening up my cashapp and he said that's the only way he could help me.

I received an email from what looked to be PayPal regarding an order for $615.55 for an item I did not recognize. I called the number for questions. A man with a foreign accent answered and told me I needed to be at my computer in order for him to help me. I said this is a scam and he hung up.
