Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

I received an email stating: "You have an invite from Payment Warning: A transaction of $924.48 to Gemini.com was detected.If this wasn’t you, please call (805) 500- 6859 to stop the payment. Protecting you from fraud is our priority." Closer scrutiny shows spacing errors and the usual marks of a scam, but it was sent from [email protected] which is the actual official email, which is what worried me. It was also sent to [email protected] which is not my email. I'm not sure how I received email I'm not the recipient of from the official Paypal email address.
