Scam Alert

Today I opened my email, and I saw PayPal logo , with the Greetings of my first name Hi Bon ,  thank you for your order , I noticed they put $808.98 amount paid for coin USD , I don’t remember buying coin, called the number starts 252, they answerered PayPal, they pretend to cancel the transaction if I will follow their instructions,, meaning I have to go the site they told to recover the payment, Suddenly I realize that’s not how PayPal does it .And I hang up, Beware..

The thing to do when you receive a notice that makes you nervous is to not respond to the email, but to check your PayPal accounts and credit card accounts to see if anything unusual is happening, always going to information sources you know are genuine.

I got one today from a mister "pratha kof" stating that I'd bought $387.87 in Bitcoin through PayPal, and to call a certain phone number if I wanted to cancel it.  No such transaction appeared in my PayPal account....a total scam.  Variations of this have been showing up for a while, and it's worrying that some people are unnerved enough by it to respond.

a lot of times, just look at the email address and it wont be a legit one and that should be a pretty good sign that something is  up
