Description
Multiple emails: 1) Setting up a special account to buy crypto via PayPal, 2) Authorization codes sent to authorize account set up (even though I never initiated a setup), 3) sent "invoice" and said to contact them if any questions. I never clicked any of the links, and went though my PayPal account to verify that none of these transactions/invoices had taken place.
