I received an email from what at first appeared to be Paypal ([email protected]). The email did NOT address me by first name and last name which is something the real Paypal says they always do. The email started with : "Hello, [email protected]". The body of the letter: "You have an invite from Payment Warning: A transaction of $962.17 to Gemini.com was detected.If this wasn’t you, please call (805) 500- 6710 to stop the payment. Protecting you from fraud is our priority" It then provides a link that says: "create an account" -- I did not click on the link. Hovering over the link and right click revealed -- https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/account-selection?v=1&utm_source=unp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=RT003034&utm_unptid=63dd527e-60c8-11f0-9f47-5f8f0db66985&ppid=RT003034&cnac=US&rsta=en_US%28en-US%29&unptid=63dd527e-60c8-11f0-9f47-5f8f0db66985&calc=c95f2193d8ab9&unp_tpcid=developerinvitationwithnewacount&page=main%3Aemail%3ART003034&pgrp=main%3Aemail&e=cl&mchn=em&s=ci&mail=sys&appVersion=1.342.0&tenant_name=PAYPAL&xt=145585%2C150948%2C104038&link_ref=mpp_account-selection I have not used Paypal in a long time. So long in fact that when I went to the real Paypal site via my browser (to check this all out) I saw that one of my credit cards had expired and the other was no longer a valid one.
