What the scam says
PayPal invoice email from 'Just World Books LLC' for $399.99: 'Don't recognize this seller? Call (888) 341-5602 immediately.' Calling connects to a fake PayPal agent who requests your PayPal login, card number, or remote access to 'process the refund'.
4 red flags
PayPal never lists a third-party callback number for disputes — always use paypal.com/disputes
Multiple different numbers used across the same scam wave — indicates organized operation
Invoice appears to originate from PayPal's own servers — it is genuine PayPal infrastructure being abused
Agent requests remote access 'to verify your account' — no legitimate refund requires this
What to do
Do not call the number
Log in at paypal.com — check your real transaction history and open a dispute there
