Paypal Invoice Scams | service@paypal Email Scam : Trust Wallet Paypal Scam<\/span><\/h2>\n

The likelihood you’ll receive a fake message is growing dramatically. Phishing messages often begin with impersonal greetings. \u201cDear user\u201d or \u201cHello, PayPal member\u201d are definitely suspect. Messages from PayPal will always use the full name listed in your PayPal account.<\/p>\n

Attachments<\/h3>\n

Attachments can contain malware, so never open them unless you\u2019re 100% sure they\u2019re legitimate.<\/p>\n

A sense of urgency<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t heed pleas for you to take fast action or warning you of problems that will compromise your account status.<\/p>\n

Asks for sensitive info<\/h3>\n

Never provide personal, credit card, or account info via email, text, or phone.<\/p>\n

Fake URL<\/h3>\n

If the web address is scrambled or looks suspect, don’t click on anything and leave.<\/p>\n

Poorly written<\/h3>\n

Typos, misspellings, and incorrect grammar are common in phishing messages.<\/p>\n

How does the scam work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

This scam hinges on the fact that these fake invoices aren\u2019t\u00a0technically<\/i>\u00a0fake at all: they are real PayPal invoices, created by fraudsters to mimic an invoice from a real entity like GoDaddy or the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/p>\n

The idea is that, because the invoice appears to come from a well known and reputable organization, you may believe the invoice is legitimate and pay up without thinking. Because the invoices are real PayPal invoices (albeit created fraudulently), once you click \u201cPay\u201d your money will be automatically transferred via your PayPal account to the fraudster.<\/p>\n
