New scan? I got an email from PayPal about a $488 invoice. I didn't order anything through PayPal

12. My MIL got caught with a PayPal scam. They tried to say she made a purchase and owed someone $1.4k.

We told her it was a scam to delete the email and she didn't. Instead she clicked on the link because she thought we didn't know what we were talking about (we're both in IT). We got a call the next morning with her practically crying saying that she was watching them empty her accounts. When she called us she had already given them her SSN and other info. They didn't actually empty her account. I guess they hadn't gotten to that point yet (she was on the phone with them when she called us), but whatever page they had her go to showed all her accounts and money just pouring out of them.

It took almost a year to get everything changed, and her bank would not reset her password or set up her online access again until she proved that her equipment had been swept clean - her phone, her iPad, her Kindle, and her desktop PC.
