Stay Safe Together: Watch Out for Fake PayPal Invoices! 

Hey neighbors! Scammers are trying to trick folks with fake PayPal invoices—bills for things you never bought. They can look super real, but don’t worry, we’ve got your back. 

Here’s how to spot a fake invoice: 

  • It’s for something you didn’t order 
  • It sounds urgent, like “Pay now!” 
  • The email isn’t from “@paypal.com 
  • It has strange links or attachments 

If you get one, don’t panic or pay anything! Instead, log in to your PayPal account directly (not through the email), check if there’s a charge, and report the email to PayPal at phishing@paypal.com. 

Protect your family and community by keeping an eye on your accounts, using strong passwords, and sharing these tips with your loved ones. Together, we can outsmart the scammers and keep our community safe!
