They have some basic filters in place to disallow you from entering PayPal Inc. exactly, but scammers get around it by using similar looking characters. Like a capital I instead of lowercase l.
- ceejayoz 4y agoStill not a break-in. Forward it to phishing@paypal.com. One of the more responsive abuse addresses I've come across; only AWS's has beat it thus far.
- jjeaff 4y agoI didn't say break-in, just "security issue". And I would be interested in how responsive their phishing address would be to a case like this simply because the email is actually from paypal, as was said before, it's just misleading because it looks like Paypal itself is requesting payment. Definitely meets the definition of phishing, but not the most common type of phishing.
