    I never link off an email. Even when my bank sends an email alerting me of a new statement I will login from my password manager, not the email.

    I have received this phishing email twice. Both did show as a request on PayPal. I did not call the number in the email. I found the real number for PayPal. They said just don't do anything & the requests would not be paid. Both of them just dropped off after a couple weeks.

    So if you were to give someone the 2fa code and they access your account, which currently has a negative balance, what are you at risk of? I get notified that the password was changed, immediately recognize I messed up big time, and stalled them long enough to reset my password again, as well as log out of all devices.
    The only changes I noticed within my account was they had turned off all the notifications, so that I would not be notified of any changes. I think that they could not do anything because they had negative balance on the account that resulted from an overdraft. I am curious if I am at risk of anything else being exposed like my card and account details or addresses and Social Security? I changed my security questions and answers, and updated my email address. Is there anything they could’ve done within 2 to 3 minutes of me changing passwords and logging out of devices etc.? Please help.

    I sort of don't know how "Richard Flores" was able to request money and get it even if pending, if someone "requests" money they don't just get it do they?

      With PayPal, it's possible to send an invoice to someone, requesting money from them. If the recipient accepts the request and clicks the "Pay now" button, the money will be sent. An attacker cannot get money just by requesting it.

    The "Don't share your code" should be enough to catch people's eyes, nobody other than the account owner should be able to change a password. If this was a real PayPal customer support insisting you, they would just ask for your email address and profile URL only, no customer support would ever ask for your password, only hackers and scammers would ask that. Be careful, if something seems off it likely is. Sometimes small wordings like "Don't share your code" can save you from big scams like this.

    Be cautious when actually speaking to scammers, as a new facet of the scam involves recording your voice to create AI-generated synthetic speech for future scams!
