The scam involving a fake Walmart eGift Card purchase works by exploiting PayPal's minimal security filters. Scammers send invoices to PayPal users, requesting payment for a service. In this case, the 'Billing Department of PayPal' requested a thousand dollars for a fake Walmart eGift Card purchase. The goal is for the user to click a scam link or call a fake phone number.
Question was asked on:
If you've ever used PayPal, you probably know it allows sellers to create invoices to send to other users' account to pay for a product or service directly on the platform. The scam that's going around now takes advantage of PayPal's minimal security filters, which don't double-check if an invoice is legitimate or not. This scam makes it pretty easy for scammers to send invoices that request payment for a service to other PayPal users. In this example, the "Billing Department of PayPal' requested a thousand dollars from a fake Walmart eGift Card purchase. Other scammers send invoice estimates, like this example where sixteen hundred dollars was requested for a new internet connection. In this case, the goal is for the user to click a scam link or call a fake phone number.
