I got an email from [email protected], but it did not show my email address (red flag). I called the 805 number anyway and spent 2 hrs on the phone. They showed where a $900 fraudulent charge was made on my wife's bank account. They setup a way on my laptop with an old DOS command prompt window for me to enter the amount owed so they could transfer the money back. This is where it gets good. I entered the correct amount down to the penny. However, I noticed a "0" was appended to the amount. What happened was the decimal point was moved over one place and they transferred $9,xxx xx to the account. They said it couldn't be undone and I need to go get the money out of the bank and deposit it in a bit coin ATM. The bank had closed so I had time to research it today and see it's a scam! I let them install 'software' on my PC so I'm not sure what all is on it ?? Going to talk to a detective in the morning and hopefully the dirtbag calls back while I'm there...

The last time, I reported it to a customer service rep at PayPal using the actual PayPal phone number and not the one listed in the body of the email. She recommended that I forward it to the PayPal security team that time, so I did the same again. But I am growing more and more concerned about these kinds of attempts, because apart from the phone number, the rest of the email looks completely legitimate, from the email address to the logos to the links at the bottom.
