- In this video I discuss how the PayPal phishing scams are getting more sophisticated, the scammers are using PayPals own service to generate fake invoices that look more legitimate since they come from service@paypal.com and take you to PayPals website.

This actually happened to me last week. I’m pretty aware of scams and I was mostly sure it was fake but the fact it came from an official PayPal email worried me enough to spend 20 mins to investigate. I thought someone possibly hacked my account. They even embed a fake PayPal support phone number in the message. Luckily I picked up on that and called the official support where they told me there was no activity on my account. Probably tricked a good amount of people. Very clever.
Remember most official emails can be used to send scams.
That's actually scary but I'm 100% protected cuz I have absolutely no money to send :D
Oh wait... :(

Many companies sign their emails cryptographically. Paypal certainly does that. It looks like you are using a cheap mail provider that does not verify the signature.
There are mail providers that care about your security. Proton, Mailbox, Tutanota....
@@mrcvry i didn't know that, really cool :)
This is PayPal's fault
The trick is that i never pay any of my invoices
CREDIT CARD COMPANIES HATE THIS ONE TRICK!
this is what we call "pro gamer move"
Exactly, it's not like anything from PayPal will go to collections. Idaf
we do a mild trickery in this game of tomfoolery
lol
Winning move is to just ignore any mystery internet bills you aren't sure of.
If the one sending the bill is legit, you will eventually actually get a paper bill sent to you.
No one's life is getting financially ruined over some missed email. Before any legal action begins against you, there for sure will be tons of attempts to make you aware of it going on.
That being said, even paper bills could be scams if the scammer knows enough about you.
But the same applies here. That unpaid bill wont fuck you over until the one billing you sends it for the government to collect, which scammers obviously wont do, as that would raise awkward questions. If the wheels of government bureaucracy start moving, you will for sure be made aware of it, giving you time to just pay it off.
Anyway, don't get your financial legal advice from YT comments, kids.
No government entity will just constant you throw email and any billing company will call you before the deadline so I instantly found it suspicious it was in English and I do not use English and it didn't say my name it was good I can't lie I'm an IT engineer I was confused with it how it was PayPal and everything was correct but it was not, image if they didn't go numbers game and went one by one by names, not even IT individuals would have suspected it as spam coming from PayPal but of most of us will have to question it but not all, ironically I don't use PayPal so suck on that scammers
thanks for the financial legal advice
@@MidWitPride thanks for the financial / legal advice
The best solution is to have your life together at least enough to know who you do and don’t owe money to. Then, when the scam email comes in, you know you don’t owe a damn to whoever is invoicing you.
PayPal when I'm trying to pay my friend 10 dollars: *sir we cannot let this pass out security check*
Paypal watching an old lady transfer 60,000 dollars to an account made 2 days ago: *I will allow it*
Meanwhile: *drug lord transferring $100,000*
Paypal: pretend we don't see that
yeah, using persian on your transaction description is enough to get blocked XD
Paypal when I withdraw $100 to my bank: You're account suspend permanent we keeping money thx

So we're back in the 90s where scammers send you random invoices for stuff you didn't buy?
Was this a thing in the past ?
@@Anonymous-op1ve Sending random invoices to people in the hope that they just pay even if they don't remember what it's for? Yeah, that's how boomers used to get scammed before there was internet and now it went full circle.
Hi i love that you make daily videos thank you so much keep it up please
"Palms sweaty, eating moms spaghetti!!"... love it
Thank you for sharing this 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you !!
Yep, just happened to me today! They wanted my banking info and I wouldn't give it. They actually ended by hanging up on ME!!!!! They were rude, nasty, and had Chinese accents.
Man, I have to wonder...
These people are getting better and better at scamming people out of thousands.
Meanwhile, there is zero resistance from investigative forces, too busy hunting wrongthink.
I have to wonder if I'm in the wrong business these days.
They're in on it
Problem is a lot of them are in India or other places where the glowies can't easily prosecute the scammers. They know about it, but they can't exactly put boots on the ground to make the arrest, and India isn't going to do shit unless if forced to.
Commenting for the algo, great content my dude
I got an email like this the other day. The only reason I knew it was a scam is because I don't even have PayPal and they didn't address me by my name. And the "person" that "sent me money" had a VERY generic name.
this company called the IRS keeps doing the same thing
After a bad experience trying to get my money back from Paypal after a ebay sale gone wrong, I prefer to just avoid Paypal as much as possible anyways. Back then they took a “the customer is always right” approach, and Paypal should be very liable in this case, but somehow, just somehow I suspect they’re just not going to be all that helpful to anyone that does get ripped off.
My friend tried to paypal me 20 dollars. Its been 2 months now.
I had a gig that paid via PayPal. I couldn't transfer funds to my bank. The only thing I could buy with it was starbucks. I was wired every single day all day for at least a month.
@@thechugg4372 It's always $20
I run an ebay page, you literally cannot decline refund requests. They can send you a package filled with dogshit in the mail and there is nothing you can do. They get your money no matter what. It fucking sucks for legitimate buisnesses like myself
How could Paypal be held liable? Paypal has no real way of distinguishing a real company/freelance/person since the impersonation is outside of it's platform. It's like sending a letter to someone asking for a cheque and they actually do it and send it back... the postal service is just an agnostic middleman. If Paypal were to be liable and actually do something about this they would, at minimum, need to collect a lot of personal info I'd rather not hand over.
Aerial Fishing thumbnail?!? So based
I actually got a fake paypal email years ago. Thankfully it was just a link to a youtube video. This is inexcusable that companies are getting hacked this often
I actually got one of these emails a couple weeks ago, but they claimed to be McAfee so I instantly ignored it lol
Dead man's switch ignored
I got that one too.
You are a good man.
Thank you for being you! If I had your skills, I would so be there. *Glincyber on the internet subs* , I'm just a retired mechanic. What I do is advise & help people when I can. My business has a lot of sketchy folks that rip people off. I help people when I can (I've only got one good arm now) and tell people when shops are trying to take them for a ride. It ain't nothing like what you do, but it makes me feel good. Keep up the good work!!!!
I know this is 10 months old but it happened to me the other day and i almost gave them complete control over my phone.
Thank fuck i knew about scammers before hand.
Great info
Thanks

Thank you for informing me of how to avoid this
Long story I got scam by giving da scammer Bitcoin n I have tax report what should I do need help ??
Been getting calls and emails about an iPhone (lul) that "I bought". I ignore the emails and when I get them on the phone I ask them about my Best Buy Geek Squad refund after they explain the iPhone stuff. They hang up too quickly.
Not sure what I'm more disappointed by, the scammers getting better or PayPal not giving a shit when their system gets abused in their favor (fees)...

This is quite strange. How are they able to create that website?
I actually heard someone mention getting an invoice from somewhere and weren't sure what it was, they never ordered anything recently.
Now this video comes up, and I immediately linked it to them. I hope it was just a scam attempt and they didn't actually pay anything.
Thanks for covering this!
worst payment method
there should be a web site extension that scans phone numbers agains a scam database
hey mental outlaw you should review the Light phone
I always ignore bills and flag them as phishing.
I don’t use PayPal often so until I do, I flag all as scams
How the f would they be able to do this through the actual paypal website? You'd think paypal would have that prevented decades ago.
have you seen these new email scams too where they act like a shipping company (DHL, UPS, etc) and send you the worst fake "Package delivered" email you'll ever see they arent even putting in effort anymore just sending out alot more with alot less effort hoping someone is stupid enough to click on the link and login to DHL/UPS,ETC
Clever trick, I gotta give them.
I've been getting phishing scams all week on all my social accounts but in different ways not this scam exactly
FINALLY someone acknowledges this! This happened to me a couple years ago. It pretended to be from PayPal and talked about how I needed to pay $5 to lift the limit on my account. Ironically, when I logged in, my account TRULY WAS limited because I hadn't checked the account or the email associated with it for a bit so I was "past due" on the invoice payment or whatever. I didn't click anything in the email, but when I logged in and saw there really was a problem, I panicked, I payed it. I did try to stay cool but no one was replying to me at that hour so the urgency got to me. After, I got tipped off when the way it was listed in my bank transaction was written a bit weird. I never found a way to cancel the invoice, and disputing it later resulted in PayPal finding nothing wrong. I froze my linked credit card and I almost did a chargeback through my bank, but knowing how banhammery PayPal is, I knew I'd probably lose my account so I just ate my loss. I'm lucky it was just $5, but it's scary that anyone can just limit your account or slurp money from you because, for some reason, you can't cancel invoices that are randomly sent to you.
Edit, Upon watching again this again I may actually still be all alone in the type of scam I experienced, lmao. Mine wasn't from links, it was just a legit invoice from a nonlegit entity that I was forced to pay because paypal is easily exploitable.

They are at it again. In Australia sms the old paypal refund scam - A$1499 sent to R.G.V. with a 2019 date for this mystery transaction LOL
Never call a number you got from a suspicious mail, always go to the website and get the number that way!
So are these the dumb email texts I keep getting that for some odd reason, I can't block?
They sent me one that asked for a large sum of money for inactivity
Thanks for keeping us up to date on this [insert expletive].
how do they get the money out? if one single person complains, then their own account will be suspended
If only we could teach people to stop falling for this crap then we wouldn't have to deal with it on this scale, unfortunately if that worked alot of things in this world never would of gotten this bad.
*a lot
I know this is old bit I just wanted to say these bastards prey on the vunerable. I have had to close my parents bank account all their credit cards and 2 years later my dad falls for the PayPal unauthorized charges. I have told him again and again but he is 78 and he has some cognitive decline. I am searching for ransomeware right now. Luckily I pulled the power on his router and got into task manager but not before the little shit made both monitors go all blue and said "Get a new computer bitch!"
Oh no, they'll be 2 ticking into our banks
- You owe me money
- Source?
- My source is that I made it the fuck up
My account got restricted somehow recently but I'm not sure if it had anything to do with this. Luckily no harm was done since I didn't have a card added and since I couldn't figure it out I just made a new account.
This is also a reason why I always go another extra step to login first to PayPal before aby bills from PP I get via e-mail
Paypal email: "We're unable to verify your bank acct"
"Payment Error ! You're transaction cannot be processed"
Hi this is Steve Case, here at AOL we've had a hard drive crash and your billing information was lost.
To ensure your membership is not interrupted, please resubmit it here.
In school we create fake Google email to improve our marks. It's be an COVID-19 time.
Due to increasing bills. This will start to happen more. :(
Why? Why would a higher cost bill increase the frequency of them?
"Your palms get sweaty, you start eating mom's spaghetti" 😂😂
Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to pass this info on to everyone I know who uses it.
I keep getting annoying scam emails like these, and my email is full of annoying crypto scams. At this point, I just wanna leave the internet and go off grid. It's just so annoying how these assholes keep getting through, and yet when I try to create a legitimate email server, it takes a tremendous amount of effort.
Thanks for this video. It was short enough and simple enough that I can share it with my 90-year-old father and even HE will understand it.

I managed to fill out everything except the social security number, and they rejected it. So was I successfully caught?
I got that same email as well. But thankfully I reported it as spam

Why would someone accept a bill? If I see an invoice show up that isn’t something I ordered, why would I click it?
but how does it work? How are they able to do this?
Joke is on them, I never pay my invoices
Yes I got it too but it was not in my language and without my name.
Can you do a video on why search engine results aren’t good anymore/ what happens to stuff that gets memoryholed?
Its pretty easy, if you click the "pay now" link and it brings you to what looks like paypal, but lastpass isn't able to autofill for you, then its a scam and you need to leave that website immediately.
Sometimes I click on them just to enter fake login information.

And make money with no frauds
I got one of these a couple years ago, it was obvious once I looked up the invoice on PayPal and the name was in Cyrillic. Don't worry, ill still see my Linux ISOs for you comrades.
I got this 2 months ago and i called PayPal support telling them its a scamim a programmer and i alomost fallen to it because the pay button is ready just click it mistakenly and your money is gone, i told them to give me the option to delete it that invoice or delete it and they never did so i emptied my account and im planning to close my PayPal account
Never pay anything you haven't ordered...
well, the one thing thats a plus about having no money, is that you can't give what you don't have :)
I just ignore anything like that coming into my email.
I got one of these claiming I owed about $600 for a smart phone I "bought". I never use Paypal's shitty anti-user service and don't have any money on it so I just ignored it.
I've had one of these that actually did use my name, about two months ago. Looked completely legit. I've never heard of the company that did the invoice, so I canceled it. PayPal's invoice canceling is an absolute mess, btw. You can eventually do it, but only from the desktop site, and it's very difficult to figure out how to. I can't remember and I've done it once.
Do people actually click links in their emails to pay for shit? I just open a browser and then log in.
Damn mans got bars
Great informative video! This is definitely new tactic for mass phishing.

I dumped Pay Pal over a dozen years ago so no worries about me owing them money.
PayPal alternatives ?
I’ve gotten about 5 of these throughout the last year and a half. The first one actually had me rather worried until I figured it out
Keeping a cool head while you're being scammed is really hard.
I almost got scammed 2 months ago on upwork.
I was trying to get a translation gig, really needed the money.
Luckily I was able to "wake up" and realize that I was about to get scammed.
Only at that moment I could see the messages with poorly written english a "translation recruiter" was sending to me, and their email was from gmail.
I got the email today
And I checked it out and yes it was a personal email address on top
And at last I remember I didn't have PayPal account 🤣🤣🤣
