Description
I received an email indicating "Recurring Payment Reactivated". The email appears to be from [email protected]. It indicated that a recurring payment would start in 4 days, for the amount of ¥4999.00 JPY. The "Message from Merchant" section says "A transaction of ????????.???? USD was detected.If this wasn’t you, please call (??????) ??????-???????? to stop the payment". This is an apparent attempt to get people to call the number and presumably try to steal money using that interaction. All other links in the PayPal-format message seem legitimate.
