Description
Received a phishing email from what on the surface looks to be from PayPal about "Recently, $883.75 was logged with a new profile. If not yours, reach out at (805) 500-6214. If fine, you may ignore. Auto pending bill accepted from this account. Your New Account added you to the Crypto Wallet account. Your user ID: ************* Use this link to finish setting up your profile for this account. The link will expire in 24 hours." Looking into it further the email is from [email protected] but the "To" field is [email protected]. That domain does not have a website but is registered to someone in Iceland with the address of an office building in Reykjavik which is the home to many registered scam websites.
