To combat these phishing attempts, the FTC advises recipients to forward such emails to [email protected]. Users are strongly urged not to interact with the email in any way and should promptly delete it from their inbox.
These phishing emails are designed to appear convincing, utilizing legitimate colors, logos, and fonts associated with PayPal. Moreover, the fraudulent PayPal email includes a fabricated invoice and provides a phone number within the email body, connecting unsuspecting customers directly to the scammers. These fraudsters then proceed to request sensitive information such as account passwords, payment details, and personal data.
