PayPal Coinbase Invoice Email Scam, Explained
Don't fall for the PayPal Coinbase invoice email scam that claims you owe money to someone like Julian Hudson at a 606 area code phone number for $872.91 or another amount. The PayPal Coinbase invoice that you'll receive in the email scam might look official, but it's fake. The phone number in the invoice leads directly to scammers, not PayPal or Coinbase.
The PayPal Coinbase invoice email scam is a long-running scam that simply swaps out the name of the payment method (PayPal) and company (Coinbase) for other payment methods and companies in an attempt to get you to believe it's a genuine invoice. For example, instead of PayPal and Coinbase, it might be Venmo and Geek Squad with a pretend invoice. It's all fake. You owe no money.
If you simply opened the PayPal Coinbase invoice email and did not give away any information to the scam operators, then you're fine. But if you gave away personal information or financial data at any point, or if you agreed to the scammers to connect to your device remotely or provided them with gift card numbers to make payment, then you got scammed. Call your bank or any payment method you used if you got scammed. If you believe your device was compromised, perhaps reach out to the real Norton or McAfee phone number to see if they offer helpful services, or visit a local computer shop in your town for help.
