What the scam says
Victim receives a legitimate-looking PayPal invoice email (actually sent via PayPal's platform from a scammer account) with text like 'Don't recognize the seller? Quickly let us know at (888) 632-2903.' Calling connects to a fake support agent who attempts to collect card or account information.
