![]() ![]() When I called in today to ask why it is still on my Dashboard, the customer service agent told me I should click on the invoice and "cancel" it. It's now been a month, and the fake unpaid email is still sitting on my Dashboard, and it says it is an "outstanding bill" for $62.00. She had difficulty finding the invoice that was sent to the email address that didn't have a Paypal account, but eventually did find it. I called in and spoke to someone who told me this was a known issue and do not open or click on any part of the email. I received two of these GoDaddy/Russian fake emails: one to my primary Paypal account and one to an email address that does not have a Paypal account. ![]() And while it may be difficult for Paypal to validate all of that, they should allow receivers to mark as spam so the fraudulent account can be placed on hold and reviewed, then obviously eliminated. It would have to say "This is not a bill" just like we receive from paper solicitations by mail in the USA. So sending it out to 1000s of emails addresses can net a very large extraction of funds from unsuspecting folks.īut the idea that it can be sent as an invoice without previously agreed upon services is fraud. It is possible they *do* actually renew the domain. The GoDaddy solicitations from the Russian username I received seems like they would make $40 per transaction minimum. So would like changes from Paypal please. Without consideration for a reporting tool directly in Paypal on an invoice by invoice basis, I feel as if Paypal is too easily allowing fraud, or in another sense, passively encouraging fraud since Paypal makes fees on fraud. The reports must be 1/10th of 1% whereas a spam button could raise that to 1% or 10% at least? Scams like this seem like they must be under-reported since it is so difficult to report. Is there any "spam" button inside of Paypal for the invoices? ![]() Seems really cumbersome if I have to put in the username that sent it, pdf, and link to how "I" access it in my Paypal account (which may not work for you). I mean, I want Paypal to be able to have the right link and if I download the pdf some of that info drops off. ![]() There’s no way to remove a transaction record from your PayPal account history, so you’ll be able to see all transactions for the past 2 years in your Activity tab.Hi, how do we report the invoice directly to Paypal without downloading it and sending via email? If you log directly into your PayPal account, you’ll be able to see any completed transactions, and dispute them if necessary. It sounds like you received a phishing attempt from someone trying to get your information. If there was a problem with your account PayPal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email / download an attachment OR phone them on a number in an email, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information. Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ”cancel” any transaction or ”confirm” any details then again it would be a spoof.Īlso if they ask you to call the number in the email then it would be fake PayPal agents trying to scam you for money to ‘fix’ something. If its a spoof then NEVER USE ANY LINK OR ANY PHONE NUMBER.įirstly if the email/text addressed you as ”Dear Member” / ”Customer” / ”Client” OR your ”email address” then that confirms its a spoof as PayPal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith. Answer on Coinbase Invoice Email PayPal Scam: Has anyone else received something like this and do I need to be concerned for my PayPal account? There are no links to click and I obviously haven’t called the phone number. ![]()
