Your Purchase E-Receipt

This email below has been confirmed as malicious or fraudulent by the Information Security department. If you have received this phishing email, do not open any attachments or follow the link(s) in the message; simply delete the email.

This email is designed to convince the recipient a fraudulent charge was submitted to their PayPal account. They use the PayPal logo and even use the recipient’s full name in the greeting to make it appear authentic. They are expecting the recipient to call the toll free number to get it straightened out; but the toll free number will be answered by a scammer. They will ask for personal identifiable and bank information so they can “Credit” your account. If you receive an email similar to this, delete it. If you ever have concern about your PayPal account, Google “PayPal Customer Service Number” and call that number to talk to a PayPal representative.
