Description
Received an email that looks like it was from Paypal notifying me that a reoccuring payment was made to my account in the amount of 1499.00 USD. It provided a phone number to call if the charge was not authorized. I did not click anything in my email, but instead visited the Paypal website and found that there were no unauthorized pending charges. The number listed in the email also did not match the phone number on the paypal website.
