One can differentiate between a real and a spoofed PayPal invoice by checking the email address from which the invoice is sent. A real PayPal invoice will be sent from the official PayPal email address, while a spoofed invoice may come from a similar, but not identical, email address. Additionally, be wary of invoices that request payment in cash or crypto, as this is not typical of PayPal. Always verify the details of the invoice and the sender before making a payment.

Sometimes these invoices request cash, or sometimes crypto, but they usually all have some form of "here's your invoice" or "invoice updated" with a button to say "view and pay invoice." This mimics a real PayPal invoice and is sent through a spoofed version of the service@paypal.com email address. And these scams aren't just limited to fake invoices - we even got a fake text message from PayPal support while researching this article.
