Question
To verify the authenticity of an invoice received via email, you should first check the sender's email address to ensure it matches the official email of the company. Be wary of any misspellings or extra characters. Secondly, avoid clicking on any links within the email. Instead, log into your account directly through the official website to check for any invoices. Lastly, contact the company directly if you're unsure about the legitimacy of the invoice.

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.
