Description

Phishing email impersonating PayPal claims my automatic payment is active for an “iPhone 17 Pro Max 512 GB.” It urges me to call (805) 500-8199 to stop the transaction. The email lists “Laity Alive & Serving” as the payee, an “Automatic payment ID” of I-SEGDTHAF9EEU, and inconsistent amounts ($1499.00 USD and ¥4999.00 JPY). It also includes a “Customer service URL” (http://www.ginnybrant.com) and “Customer service email” ([email protected]), neither of which belongs to PayPal. I made a single call from a spoofed caller ID; I was kept on hold indefinitely with no answer. I did not give any personal or financial information. This appears to be a phone-based phishing scam using a fake PayPal email to get victims to call and disclose sensitive data. Please flag and share.
