Have you encountered this scam?

I get emails about my large purchase using PayPal, but so far they have never mentioned cryptocurrency. Of course, a large purchase from me through PayPal just makes me snicker. And yes, now I want a Snickers.

Most of those hit my spam folder and I don't look into them much. But, it's a popular scam.

The ones I get seem to all be for Cash App right now. It's pretty obvious because I've never used Cash App before. I see a lot of fake invoice scams at work. They're really similar to what you described: the client comes in having gotten an invoice for around $500 or so. They have the same "courteous" invitation to call the 800 number on the invoice to challenge the charges or get a refund... and that's how they get their victims, because they'll ask for a credit card number to issue the refund to, then run up a bunch of charges on it. Or sometimes they'll sweet talk the client into giving them remote access to their PC, and then I have to go clean up the mess they've left behind. Some of the guys at work are bugged when clients just walk in to ask "stupid" questions about those emails, but I'd rather they do that than fall victim to the scammers!

Luckily I didn’t get these emails. But I receive tons of other crap that I have to delete.

Maybe, I tend to ignore everything-crypto that goes into the spam folder, even though I do collect crypto so I'm involved with that world somehow. I mostly get fake missed deliveries, but no "Dear Customer" lives with me. Or "Costumer" even.

These seem to have replaced the ones from that Nigerian Prince who came into a huge amount of money and just needs a bank account to park the money until he retires and will pay a handsome "parking bonus" while confirming he heard can trust me. I wonder what ever happened to that Nigerian Prince. He seemed so trustworthy...

I have two PayPal accounts. One I no longer use at all. They are connected to two different e mails. The one I do not use is supposedly sending me documents to sign via "docusign" because of failed transactions. I need to just delete that one, but I feel like in a way it is bait for the scammers so they leave my other one alone.

I get a lot of paypal scam stuff. I just ignore it.

Yes I do and I send them to spoof@paypal.com.

I got something like that yesterday. I never go into them.

Yes and I just delete them.

Usually my Scam folder grabs them,but I have had invoices sent for say $500 or more for some item I have ordered through PayPal I toss those and block the email that sent it,

no I haven't.

I haven't had any of these, thank goodness. They try anything, don't they?

I haven’t received this one, but definitely many others.

I get emails like that all the time. I blame MAGA because if it weren't for gullible people like that, these scams wouldn't exist.

If I have got that it's in my spam folder and I never look there unless I am expecting something

The big scam going around Florida right now has to do with SunPass accounts (the account Floridians use to pay for toll roads). They call, text or email you and tell you that you have unpaid SunPass tolls and that you need to get a hold of them (the scammers) right away to correct the issue. Florida is a toll-by-plate state, so if your SunPass transponder isn't working for whatever reason, the toll booths will photograph your license plate and mail you the tolls fees you owe based on the address on file with the DMV.

I have received a lot of spam text lately for tolls and Capital One collections. It's so annoying. Sadly, many fall for it.

These scam mails seem to be going everywhere these days! They try to capitalize by panicking people so they call them without analysing things. It’s always best to ignore them. I still receive mails of Nigerian prince and rich people who want to share their wealth with me. There are times I receive mail stating they are holding me for ransom or they will expose my secrets to my family and friends. Luckily, they all go to my spam. That former MyLotter should have had great sense of humour! Scam baiting can be entertaining when done well. It is fun when scammers react when they realize they have been fooled.
