Description
Someone disguised as PayPal sent notification of purchase of an iPhone 17 Pro Max for $1400. I checked and it does not appear either phone number listed in the notification belongs to PayPal, but is located in the 805 Area Code of California. Also at the bottom it lists a recurring payment for ¥4999.00 upcoming on 10/11/25. I don’t believe anyone has my payment info and I suspect it’s phishing for me to reply and give actual payment info. I have not clicked on anything within the email, but I highly suspect this message is fraudulent.
