Description
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 “Apple Store USA” as the payee, an “Automatic payment ID” of I-LK8MTUHTG7XK and inconsistent amounts ($1499.00 USD and ¥4999.00 JPY). I did not call, click on any links, or respond in any way. I did verify from my own PayPal account that no such charges had been issued or scheduled.
